patch-2.7.6-fix-test-suite-further.patch

Here is a patch that is supplemental to the existing "fix-test-suite" patch. It is also eligible for upstream but the instance here is intended to apply cleanly for the current ebuild.

> Is this really important enough to warrant a backport?

This is one of those things I'd prefer not to bother anybody about but would still like fixed, so it's hard to get the balance right. I don't really like nagging about this sort of thing either. Thanks for putting up with it.

Point taken, although my view is that if we have a patch, we may as well use it - especially because it just makes life easier if we have to stable a revision before the next release (I use dash most of the time when doing arch testing now).

Apparently, it was important enough for commit ff5c047 to have occurred. By what metric would it be less important now than it was then?

Previous commit fixed a problem you will experience when running Gentoo out of the box. To experience the reported bug you would have to switch default shell...

Anyway, I'll take care of it.

That's a compelling answer.

Just to further explain my reaction: We are talking about an issue that only affects the test suite, and only when the system shell is dash. These 2 things together will affect a miniscule number of users, and there are a couple of very simple/obvious workarounds.

Anyway, it was sort of a grumpy response, so apologies to all.

Not to worry. It was a pertinent question, the motivation for which was rendered clear to me by reading Thomas' comment. All's well that ends well, as the saying goes.
