[Linux-wlan-ng-devel] Bug#440366: linux-wlan-ng: fails to build if TMPDIR is set

[Tormod Volden]

Package: linux-wlan-ng
Version: 0.2.8+svn1832+dfsg-2
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

debian/rules uses a variable TMPDIR which is meant to be a local 
variable. However if the environment variable TMPDIR has been set, its 
value is consequently changed, and "patch", "tac" and friends (which 
make use of this environment variable) fail since the new TMPDIR does 
not exist yet.

The patch renames this local variable to LWNTMP.
