New Revision: 23084
Modified:
trunk/debathena/NOTES
Log:
There is a perl/AFS permissions issue which can interfere with
multiple users using the same build area. The workaround is to chmod
directories 777 if perl's File::Temp will be used in that directory.
dpkg-source and equivs-build are affected. We have automated the
workaround for dasource, but are working around it manually for
equivs-build. In NOTES, document where the manual workaround is
necessary.
