Bug 59749 – profile.bashrc is not sourced properly.

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Portage Development

[Description Hasan Khalil (RETIRED) 2004-08-07 22:27:50 UTC]

Line 2631 of portage.py:
mysettings["PROFILE_PATHS"] = "'"+PROFILE_PATH+"/' '"+CUSTOM_PROFILE_PATH+"/'"

my modified ebuild.sh (around line 52):
echo Sourcing profile.bashrc from paths: ${PROFILE_PATHS}
for dir in ${PROFILE_PATHS}; do
        echo Looking for ${dir}/profile.bashrc
        if [ -f "${dir}/profile.bashrc" ]; then
                source "${dir}/profile.bashrc"
                echo Sourced ${dir}/profile.bashrc
        fi 
done

the output:
Sourcing profile.bashrc from paths: '/etc/make.profile/' '/etc/portage/profile/'
Looking for '/etc/make.profile/'/profile.bashrc
Looking for '/etc/portage/profile/'/profile.bashrc

The problem is obvious -- the ' marks are not removed from the variable. Escaping spaces would probably need to be done as well.

This has been corrected InCVS; waiting for nick to do a pre18 release.
