             Bug #: 11593
           Summary: DragonEgg makefile uses svnversion to set REVISION,
                    causing build failure with release tarball
           Product: dragonegg
           Version: 2.7
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P
         Component: New Bugs

In the process of packaging DragonEgg for the Fedora Linux distribution, the
package reviewer encountered a build failure due to the Makefile's use of
svnversion to set the REVISION variable.  If svnversion is present, it outputs
the string "unversioned directory", which breaks things due to the space
character.

For now we've patched the makefile to change the way REVISION is set.  I'm not
sure what the correct solution in general is, but the Makefile in a release
tarball shouldn't be using svnversion on what obviously isn't a Subversion
working directory, or it should detect that condition and take an appropriate
action.

The problem description in the Fedora package review is at:
