Sorry, no, using dash (0.5.3-5) there's still a remaining
$ linux-2.6.22/scripts/patch-kernel linux-2.6.22 /usr/src/patch-2.6
Current kernel version is 2.6.22 ( Holy Dancing Manatees, Batman!)
linux-2.6.22/scripts/patch-kernel: 207: Syntax error: Bad substitution
error in the
# strip EXTRAVERSION to just a number (drop leading '.' and trailing additions)
EXTRAVER=
if [ x$EXTRAVERSION != "x" ]
then
>>> [l.207] if [ ${EXTRAVERSION:0:1} == "." ]; then
EXTRAVER=${EXTRAVERSION:1}
else
EXTRAVER=$EXTRAVERSION
fi
EXTRAVER=${EXTRAVER%%[[:punct:]]*}
#echo "$PNAME: changing EXTRAVERSION from $EXTRAVERSION to $EXTRAVER"
fi
part, which the sed expression (moderately successfully) tried to
take care of.
The good part of the story is that the current corrected almost fully
working version still works with bash (3.1dfsg-8), just like the
original patch-kernel version.
Signed-off-by would be fine by me.
Thanks,
Andreas Mohr
