opkbuild 4.0.1 released

About
=====

opkbuild is a distribution build system -- a set of tools for building
software packages.  From source packages it builds binary packages for
use with the opkg package manager.

Currently one format of source package is supported by opkbuild:
ProteanOS Source Package Format 2.0:

    http://specs.proteanos.com/spf-2.0/

opkbuild is similar in function to the development library and utilities
of dpkg, the Debian package manager:

    https://packages.debian.org/sid/dpkg-dev
    https://packages.debian.org/sid/libdpkg-perl
    https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/Dpkg/

NEWS for Version 4.0.1
======================

Bug fixes and minor changes:

  * Dates in manual pages are now generated correctly, regardless of the
    output formatting of the ls command at build time.
  * configure no longer checks for make.  This was needed for mksysconf,
    which was removed in version 4.0.0.
  * Substitution variables are now correctly set for binary packages
    with non-alphanumeric characters in their names.  Unsanitized data
    was passed to eval, however it was first validated to not contain
    characters such as whitespace and it was interpolated into a string
    that couldn't yield a command name that would normally exist on any
    system.
