Hi,
I just noticed that the path to some config files in the manpages get's
replaced during the build of the debian package with the pathes which
are used during the build. This is not good, since the path will not be
the same for the enduser, who installs the deb. Is it intented that the
pathes in the manpage get generated during compilation and should I know
generate a script for debian to fix them?
Ciao
Christian

While the year 2000 (y2k) problem is not an issue for us, all Linux
implementations will impacted by the year 2038 (y2.038k) issue. The Debian
Project is committed to working with the industry on this issue and we will
have our full plans and strategy posted by the first quarter of 2020.

That way it should be correctly modified per each .deb install. - Ben

If you are installing under a fake root for the purposes of packaging (rpm, deb, etc) then configure and build with the final filesystem paths, but override them when you install under the fake root. Have a look at the Redhat spec file for how I do it. -d -- | ``We've all heard that a million monkeys banging on | Damien Miller - | a million typewriters will eventually reproduce the | <djm at mindrot.org> | works of Shakespeare.
