libreoffice-7.1.2.2-configure-bashism.patch

LibreOffice's configure.ac contains a Bashism (use of == operator with 'test' built-in). Thus, configure emits an error when /bin/sh is not Bash. This doesn't cause the build to fail outright, but it may be causing misdetection of features.

if test -z "$enable_community_flavor" -o "$enable_community_flavor" == "yes"; then

checking whether to build a Community flavor... ./configure: 10592: test: unexpected operator
no

The attached patch removes the Bashism and allows app-office/libreoffice-7.1.2.2 to configure without error when /bin/sh is Dash.

This appears to be still the case in git master. Would you send your fix upstream?
