Bug 136111 – "eselect env update" generates invalid /etc/profile.csh

[Description Patrick McLean 2006-06-08 13:00:16 UTC]

setenv: Syntax Error.

[Comment 1 Patrick McLean 2006-06-08 13:03:19 UTC]

Sorry, accidently hit enter when I was typing the summary

Anyway, it currently generates an invalid profile.csh, when you try to source it you get an error

 $ source /etc/profile.csh
setenv: Syntax Error.
 $

The problem appears to be it is generating the setenv's in the format:
setenv VAR='value'

I will be attaching a patch shortly that fixes this by changing the generated format to the proper
setenv ENV 'value'

Created attachment 88713 [details, diff]
eselect-csh-setenv.patch

This modifies the sed expression command that generates the profile.csh to change the "=" to a space.

Created attachment 88723 [details, diff]
Patch to fix generation of both profile.env and profile.csh files

.en generation as broken, too. (But only in rare cases when escaped '"' occured
in the envvars.)

Patrick: please try this patch and report if it still works for you.

That patch seems to work fine.
