Description Gilles G 2002-11-12 00:15:22 UTC

When creating an env.d file for Oracle I would like to have 
to set my env as followed :

ORACLE_BASE=/opt/oracle
ORACLE_HOME=$ORACLE_BASE/product/9.2.0
PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/bin
LDPATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib

As env-update do not evaluate variable, I have to set everything right.

ORACLE_BASE=/opt/oracle
ORACLE_HOME=/opt/oracle/product/9.2.0
PATH=/opt/oracle/product/9.2.0/bin
LDPATH=/opt/oracle/product/9.2.0/lib

May be a good feature for env-update.
Might be complex though, because then of order of lines.

Actually using portage 2.0.43

This should be fixed at least for /sbin/rc-envupdate (only run at boot in
/etc/init.d/bootmisc).

${ORACLE_BASE} works.
