Control: retitle -1 sbuild: does not expand paths like ~/foo ,
tag -1 - moreinfo
Hello,
I stumbled upon this issue recently while trying to use the following
command:
$ sbuild -d unstable --extra-package=~/dev/debian/wip -v -A
...
W: ~/dev/debian/wip is neither a regular file nor a directory. Skipping...
But running the same command with a space instead of a = makes the shell
expand the ~ before passing the string to the program:
$ sbuild -d unstable --extra-package ~/dev/debian/wip -v -A
However, the man page of sbuild is using the = sign instead of spaces
to pass arguments. So other users will likely be tricked by trying
to follow the man page to pass extra packages from somewhere in their
home directory.
I think this bug should be fixed for new sbuild users to not waste
time trying to figure out why ~ is not expanded.
Thanks.
