Indeed. I have a "build partition" that I use for both, package downloading and building in /usr/portage/tmp. The rfkill make suite looks for a version number and in case the work directory is a Git repo it tries to query the version number there. Then, it finds the Git repo in /usr/portage and fails.

I'll see how I solve it. I do not have time to make a decision this evening. Bertram -- Bertram Scharpf Stuttgart, Deutschland/Germany http://www.bertram-scharpf.de
