openrc-9999. I'm at commit 815952a65a now, but the problem is in commit ef1ff1b4 by vapier. Here's the diff-segment in question (from git show): diff --git a/init.d/net.lo.in b/init.d/net.lo.in index 66e1945..d647f31 100644 --- a/init.d/net.lo.in +++ b/init.d/net.lo.in @@ -115,7 +115,7 @@ _wait_for_carrier() eend 0 return 0 fi - timeout=$((${timeout} - 1)) + : $(( timeout -= 1 )) [ "${efunc}" = "einfon" ] && printf "." done @@ -144,9 +144,9 @@ _netmask2cidr() local i= len= local IFS=. for i in $1; do - while [ ${i} != "0" ]; do - len=$((${len} + ${i} % 2)) - i=$((${i} >> 1)) + while [ i -ne 0 ]; do + : $(( len += i % 2 )) + : $(( i >>= 1 )) done done The problem is line 147: + while [ i -ne 0 ]; do Bash (4.2_p10) errors on that: [: i: integer expression expected. A diagnostic echo says $1 is "255 255 255 0" and $i gets the successive integer values 255 255 255 0 as expected. Apparently, Mike got a bit zealous with his cleanup and in line 147, s/i/$i/ . That appears to solve the problem, here. (I actually switched to -9999 in ordered to be able to check individual git commits when I upgrade. I scan git whatchanged and git show commits that look interesting. That commit looked interesting and I actually paused when I saw that $-less variable, but I figured vapier knew way more about bash/shell than I did, so it must work. Actual usage proved my doubts valid. He's certainly correct with the commit comment, tho, the rest of that commit DOES make things much more readable. =:^)
