In the get_book function, there is the construct:
#----------------------------#
get_book() {
#----------------------------#
# Check for Subversion instead of just letting the script hit 'svn'
and fail.
test `type -p svn` || eval "echo \"This feature requires Subversion.\"
exit 1"
cd $JHALFSDIR
if [ -z $WC ] ; then
echo -n "Downloading the LFS Book, version $LFSVRS... "
If the jhalfs.conf file has BOOK defined, it does not set WC. Perhaps
the it should be set in jhalfs.conf if BOOK is set there:
if [ -n $BOOK ] ; then WC=1; fi
or more compactly (and less obviously):
[ $BOOK ] && WC=1
Alternatively, it could be put into the jhalfs script right after the
command:
source jhalfs.conf
also, if WC is defined, then the check for subversion is unnecessary.
The affects my students who will be given the book via a tar file, but
do not (yet) have subversion available. Perhaps the start should be:
#----------------------------#
get_book() {
#----------------------------#
if [ -z $WC ] ; then
# Check for Subversion instead of just letting the script hit 'svn'
# and fail.
test `type -p svn` || \
eval "echo 'This feature requires Subversion.'; exit 1"
cd $JHALFSDIR
echo -n "Downloading the LFS Book, version $LFSVRS... "
