Hello,
I'm trying to backport whois to an older Ubuntu release, but I've
noticed it won't build because of the VERSION check in debian/rules.
When backporting a package the version number will look like the following:
5.0.15ubuntu2~oneiric1
This will fail because the regex isn't expecting ~oneiric1. The attached
patch will expand this regex and allow for such addition to the
changelog string, and will be cut appropriately when compared with the
VERSION in config.h.
Here is the changelog addition:
* debian/rules: Updated VERSION regex to allow for extra version strings.
Thanks for considering the patch.
