--- Begin Message ---Hello. I received this from the Debian bug system: ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Raphael Geissert <atom...@gmail.com> To: mainto...@bugs.debian.org Date: Sun, 5 Jul 2009 13:10:01 -0500 Subject: Bug#535867: gettext-doc: bashism in /bin/sh script Package: gettext-doc Severity: minor Version: 0.17-6 User: debian-rele...@lists.debian.org Usertags: goal-dash Hello maintainer, While performing an archive wide checkbashisms (from the 'devscripts' package) check I've found your package containing a /bin/sh script making use of a bashism. checkbashisms' output: > possible bashism in > ./usr/share/doc/gettext-doc/examples/hello-c++-kde/admin/cvs.sh line 426 > (echo -e): > echo -e 'i18n("_: NAME OF TRANSLATORS\\n"\n"Your names")\ni18n("_: > EMAIL OF TRANSLATORS\\n"\n"Your emails")' > _translatorinfo.cpp > possible bashism in > ./usr/share/doc/gettext-doc/examples/build-aux/csharpcomp.sh.in line 58 > ($RANDOM): > tmp=$TMPDIR/gt$$-$RANDOM Not using bash (or a Debian Policy conformant shell interpreter which doesn't provide such an extra feature) as /bin/sh is likely to lead to errors or unexpected behaviours. Please be aware that although bash is currently the default /bin/sh there was a release goal for Lenny to make dash the default /bin/sh[1], and has been proposed for squeeze as well[2][3]. If you want more information about dash as /bin/sh, you can read: http://lists.debian.org/debian-release/2008/01/msg00189.html For more information supporting this goal please refer to Debian Policy, section 10.4, at: http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-files.html#s-scripts Hints about how to fix bashisms: Sometimes these bugs are already fixed in Ubuntu, look at the PTS. If not already fixed you can read: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DashAsBinSh If you still don't know how to fix the bashisms don't hesitate to reply to this email, or tag the bug as 'help'.
