From: Riku Voipio <riku.voipio@xxxxxxxxxx> There is multiple issues with the genaration of maintainer string It uses DEBEMAIL and EMAIL enviroment variables, which may contain angle brackets, creating invalid maintainer strings. The documented KBUILD_BUILD_USER and KBUILD_BUILD_HOST variables are not used. Undocumented and uncommon NAME variable is used. Refactor the Maintainer string to: - use EMAIL or DEBEMAIL directly if they are in form "name <user@host>" - use KBUILD_BUILD_USER and KBUILD_BUILD_HOST if set before falling back to autodetection - no longer use NAME variable or the useless Anonymous string The logic is switched from multiline if/then/fi statements to compact shell variable substition commands.
