build-error on jaunty: "Invalid cross-device link"

[Sven Roederer]

Today I tried to build akonadi from source (apt-get source akonadi"). During the filnal deb-install-scripts the process failed with:

---------------

-----------------------------

As my "developing"-failsystem is on a separate partition the creation of a hardlink must fail.
I changed the debian/rules-file to use a softlink an the package was build succesfully. But I do not know if this will intoduce other problems.

I used "akonadi_1.1.0-0ubuntu1".

The partition you are building is a different than /usr/sbin/mysqld is in. Currently we create a static link from mysqld-akonadi to mysqld at build time, which makes it necessary to have the build done on the partition mysqld is on. We'll be moving the linking to maintainer scripts soonish.
