1 Hi All,
2
3 Portage 1.5.3 has been released, and contains two basic fixes. It should no
4 longer be necessary to backslash-escape double-quotes when using "try", "emake"
5 or "pmake" (older name for emake). For example, instead of typing:
6
7 try make CFLAGS=\"$CFLAGS\"
8
9 One can now type:
10
11 try make CFLAGS="$CFLAGS"
12
13 The only ebuild that has been updated so far is sys-apps/tmpreaper. All others
14 will need to be fixed. Thanks to a message on the MOSIX mailing list that
15 demonstrated the subtle differences between $* and "$@", which allowed this fix
16 to happen.
17
18 Everyone should upgrade to 1.5.3 as soon as possible.

20 Dan Armak, if you are up to doing a Portage-wide fix, that would be great :)

22 Best Regards,
