Bug 67075 – bash-3.x doesnt expand some expressions properly

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Lisa Seelye (RETIRED) 2004-10-11 04:00:29 UTC]

The default function creates a directory structure that looks like:

root@dev dhcp # ls /chroot/dhcp/
{dev,etc,var  etc

Clearly that is not the desired effect.  I changed the file to:

--- dhcp-3.0.1.ebuild.dist   2004-10-02 17:11:11.000000000 +0000

this is a bug in bash, not the ebuild

[Comment 2 SpanKY 2004-10-11 19:21:54 UTC]

here's a test case:
$ D=blah
$ echo ${D}/{a,b,c}
blah/a blah/b blah/c
$ echo "${D}"/{a,b,c}
blah/{a,b,c}

Fixed in bash-3.0-r7, thanks

Created attachment 42528 [details]
patch-14 is now "official" (diff against bash-3.0-r7.ebuild)

Hi,

just a "cosmetic" fix. Thought telling you it's out :)

thanks.  patch is same as what we have so I'll wait until patch 15 to bother changing anything.
