Bug 175119 – dm-start.sh (sys-fs/device-mapper) is full of bashisms

• Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Benjamin K. Stuhl 2007-04-18 16:13:39 UTC]

baselayout-2 permits /bin/sh to not be bash, but dm-start.sh is full of bashisms and therefore won't run with (e.g.) busybox as /bin/sh

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install baselayout-2.0.0_alpha1
2. make /bin/sh a symlink to busybox


Actual Results:  
dm-start.sh fails on boot with "bad substitution" errors

Expected Results:  
all bootscripts should be sh-compatible and not require bash

Is this really a duplicate? 174424 is about dm-crypt-start.sh, which is provided by the cryptsetup(-luks) packages, not sys-fs/device-mapper... (reopening to get back on the radar, close it again if I'm wrong...)

Yeah, sorry - my mistake. I didn't read the summaries properly :( Sorry for the bugspam

we're not fixing volume addons as they wont be used with baselayout-2

wrt to bashisms, the answer is to post a new version that cleans it up, not make someone else do it
