Package: gzip
Version: 1.3.5-12
Severity: normal
If gzexe compressed file is moved to another x86 Linux system it
fails to work when the target linux system does not implement
tempfile(1)
The shell scrip stub at the beginning of compressed file
should be made environment agnostic and only use tempfile(1)
if it's available. Otherwise it should revert to de facto method.
SOLUTION SUGGESTION
Make the code generate this:
#!/bin/sh
skip=24
set -C
umask=`umask`
umask 77
tmpfile=`tempfile -p gztmp -d /tmp` ||
tmpfile=/tmp/cvs.$$
...
instead of the current:
...
tmpfile=`tempfile -p gztmp -d /tmp` || exit 1
...
