Subject: [Qemu-devel] [PATCH] docker: Don't use eval trick on Makefile
Date: Mon,  6 Jun 2016 12:53:54 -0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1465228434-20143-1-git-send-email-ehabkost@redhat.com> (raw)

The eval trick for defining DOCKER_SRC_COPY doesn't do anything
useful, as DOCKER_SRC_COPY is immediately expanded just after it
is defined, and CUR_TIME is already defined using ":=". Simply
define it using ":=" so it is evaluated only once.

The eval trick was also triggering an weird error on Travis builds:
  qemu/tests/docker/Makefile.include:34: *** unterminated variable reference.  Stop.

The issue is not easily reproducible (maybe it's a bug in some
versions of Make), but it is avoided if removing the eval trick.
