Can't build v1.2.0pre3 tag on OS X 10.6.8

[rcuza]

When trying to build the OS X package of Bcfg2 I run into a repeatable error (see attached text file for full make output) related to BCFGVER variable in the makefile:

...

make: *** [server] Error 2

Here are the occurrences of the BCFGVER variable in the makefile:

$ grep BCFGVER Makefile 
BCFGVER = $(shell /usr/bin/grep version ../setup.py | cut -d\" -f2)
BCFGVER1 = $(shell /bin/echo ${BCFGVER} | /usr/bin/cut -d"." -f1)
BCFGVER2 = $(shell /bin/echo ${BCFGVER} | /usr/bin/cut -d"." -f2)
BCFGVER3 = $(shell /bin/echo ${BCFGVER} | /usr/bin/cut -d"." -f3)
BCFGVER3I = $(shell /usr/bin/python -c "import sys; print sys.argv[1][0:1]" ${BCFGVER3})
MAJOR = ${BCFGVER1}
MINOR = ${BCFGVER2}${BCFGVER3I}
        sed -i '' "s/{SHORTVERSION}/${BCFGVER}/g" "${PKGTMP}/${PROTO_PLIST}"
        rm -rf `pwd`/bcfg2-${BCFGVER}.pkg
                          --out `pwd`/bcfg2-${BCFGVER}.pkg
        rm -rf `pwd`/bcfg2-${BCFGVER}.pkg
                          --out `pwd`/bcfg2-${BCFGVER}.pkg

When run manually this is the output:

$ grep version ../setup.py | cut -d\" -f2
if sys.hexversion < 0x03000000 and os.path.exists(py3lib):
1.2.0pre3

The expected output is 1.2.0pre3.

A pull request was made to help solve this issue. The solution involves using tools/export.py to update the version info in osx/Makefile. This solution was adopted by other packaging files like debian/changelog.

Marking this ticket as resolved(fixed).
