Description Gabor Kapitar 2007-03-15 11:43:11 UTC

It seems that env-update recently ignores variables in the config files of /etc/env.d

example:

content of /etc/env.d/20sun-java:
DIRNAME="jdk"
JAVA_HOME=/opt/java/${DIRNAME}
JRE_HOME=/opt/java/${DIRNAME}/jre
PATH="${JAVA_HOME}/bin"

after running env-update, the /etc/profile.env has following entries:
export JAVA_HOME='/opt/java/${DIRNAME}'
export JRE_HOME='/opt/java/${DIRNAME}/jre'
...
export PATH='/opt/bin:/usr/lib/ccache/bin:/usr/i686-pc-linux-gnu/gcc-bin/4.1.1:${JAVA_HOME}/bin:/usr/qt/3/bin:/opt/enlightenment/bin:/usr/games/bin'

Those files are broken; env-update is not supposed to expand variables.
