Bug 179634 – app-misc/lirc: irexec init script uses bashisms ([[ ]])

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) 2007-05-24 13:01:19 UTC]

The irexec init script currently uses bashisms that are incompatible with FreeBSD's sh (and dash/busybox for Linux users). The problem is the line

if [[ ${IREXEC_USER} == "root" && ${IREXEC_DISABLE_ROOT_WARNING} != yes ]]; then

that should instead become something like

if [ "x${IREXEC_USER}" = "xroot" -a "x${IREXEC_DISABLE_ROOT_WARNING}" != "xyes" ]; then

This will work on every shell and should then be safer.

HTH,
Diego
