You could use __stringify() to make a string out of it. Not sure if -D=\"VERSION\" works as expected. This would also get rid of the "overflow" with 0.100 that was mentioned in the thread… >diff --git a/Makefile b/Makefile >index a48e7597b908..1f7640b82fa6 100644 >--- a/Makefile >+++ b/Makefile >@@ -158,23 +158,23 @@ release: distclean changelog > mkdir -p releases > mkdir -p tmp/rt-tests > cp -r Makefile COPYING ChangeLog MAINTAINERS doc README.markdown src tmp/rt-tests >- rm -f rt-tests-$(VERSION_STRING).tar rt-tests-$(VERSION_STRING).tar.asc >- tar -C tmp -cf rt-tests-$(VERSION_STRING).tar rt-tests >- gpg2 --default-key clrkwllms@xxxxxxxxxx --detach-sign --armor rt-tests-$(VERSION_STRING).tar >- gzip rt-tests-$(VERSION_STRING).tar >+ rm -f rt-tests-$(VERSION).tar rt-tests-$(VERSION).tar.asc >+ tar -C tmp -cf rt-tests-$(VERSION).tar rt-tests >+ gpg2 --default-key clrkwllms@xxxxxxxxxx --detach-sign --armor rt-tests-$(VERSION).tar >+ gzip rt-tests-$(VERSION).tar > rm -f ChangeLog >- cp rt-tests-$(VERSION_STRING).tar.gz rt-tests-$(VERSION_STRING).tar.asc releases >+ cp rt-tests-$(VERSION).tar.gz rt-tests-$(VERSION).tar.asc releases Is this target in use?
