Attached is a patch (file: patch2.tar.bz2) with updated and new shebang regexes to account for the following use cases: * Whitespace between the starting #! and the executable's path. * Usage of the "#!/usr/bin/env executable" form of shebang used by some scripts. * Recognition of ruby, php and make executable scripts. * Recognition of the dash shell and the mawk awk variant. Many of the above use cases are not corner-case; a survey on my /usr/bin (which is certainly biased, since no attempt was made to acquire a random set of packages before running it, but also indicative of the orders of magnitude involved) showed the following results: Shebang Type Count Percentage - ------------------------------------------ all (binaries excluded) 1253 with spaces 258 21 % with /usr/bin/env 71 6 % with options after 322 26 % - ------------------------------------------ Since the package uses the quilt format, I attach directly the files in debian/patches, to make it also easier to get applied upstream. A diff can also be supplied on request. I also attach a patch for the collab-maint git version (file: 0002-Change-shebang-regexes-to-account-for-spaces-and-the.patch) which is currently 3.5 as I see, but have also verified compatibility with the 3.7 version. A side note: In my tests with the 2.16 version the regexes had not required the preceeding backslash; I have thus dropped it to make the regexes more readable. regards George Zarkadas - -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0.4 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'proposed-updates'), (500, 'stable'), (450, 'testing-proposed-updates'), (450, 'testing'), (400, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=el_GR.utf8, LC_CTYPE=el_GR.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages highlight depends on: ii highlight-common 2.16-1 source code to formatted text conv ii libc6 2.11.3-2 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libgcc1 1:4.4.5-8 GCC support library ii libstdc++6 4.4.5-8 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 highlight recommends no packages. highlight suggests no packages. - -- no debconf information -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJPNUrgAAoJEJWXIVmJ5BwWI/QIAL5hm/mSFYrhiYbElk4M6KvG xpGCKELkrfZTr6rErzdhuPsZkacr0jvPClC3FYhpo+hOcekCe0rIa51+v4pjWVpW 2A89Gi3WQ4bHb8GogZpuFPsuPIjGhwTZJBIvaTz5Zw+C2dqzsHAItZEcXpckauZ0 rxuK3Kqoip3tXf2KMAnYZmVhE0e66jfIqpRrw5M6vECXxcw0aeREO6sSjkcZtOLS 94bJfDtGHeBdkVy3/YvsPYNsJgqYzYIfOx88M1E8/Yi8flK+uMwlafVdQjbr2Q/T eK/8PKOyuAgA1N5NZn12zLOC0dCxuyhBOP76Bevgdb3im2KOMHWMRXsdV9d1Bp4= =Wenc -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
