Hello,
I was non-mildly horrified to find that the rather widely used patch-kernel
script seems to rely on bash despite specifying the interpreter as #!/bin/sh,
since my dash-using Debian install choked on it.
Thus I'm delivering a first, preliminary, non-reviewed change to make
patch-kernel (a little bit more?) POSIX-compatible. It now survives both
a dash and a bash run.
If this mail goes through relatively unscathed, then it might be a good
idea to plant it into -mm via a follow-up mail.
Comments?
- replaced "==" by "="
- the "source" statement most likely needs the ./ prepended, as can be
gathered from e.g. http://osdir.com/ml/colinux.devel/2005-12/msg00036.html
- the newly replaced sed expression below: is it ok? correct? strict enough?
Thanks,
Andreas Mohr
(who's strongly hoping that submitting a patch for this thingy doesn't
automatically equal becoming "maintainer for life" for it ;)
