'make distcheck' was failing because a syntax check file, .sc-start-sc_vulnerable_makefile_CVE-2012-3386, got left behind. I traced it to the 'distdir' rule depending on a shortcut syntax-check name rather than the full rule name normally used during 'local-check' from maint.mk. * cfg.mk (distdir): Depend on full rule, not shorthand name. --- Pushing under the build-breaker rule. cfg.mk | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/cfg.mk b/cfg.mk index 1318593..e9138a8 100644 --- a/cfg.mk +++ b/cfg.mk @@ -85,7 +85,7 @@ local-checks-to-skip = \ ifeq ($(filter dist%, $(MAKECMDGOALS)), ) local-checks-to-skip += sc_vulnerable_makefile_CVE-2012-3386 else -distdir: sc_vulnerable_makefile_CVE-2012-3386 +distdir: sc_vulnerable_makefile_CVE-2012-3386.z endif # Files that should never cause syntax check failures. -- 1.7.11.2
