I am using global with the linux kernel source code and the version in Debian hasn't worked for me since about a year. The binary silently fails to build the tags.

The package is also updated to follow more recent packaging standards. It would be ideal if the official package got upgraded (or maybe replaced by another package), but in the meanwhile I'd like to keep the above repo in-sync with upstream releases. Please let me know if you face any issues using that version. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
