Note: Paco-1.10.4 requires WORDEXP=y set in uClibc, which is not the
default in the config-patch for uClibc.
Paco-1.10.4 uses the function wordexp() to parse the configuration
file. This allows for expanding any environment variable (and not only
HOME). For example:
LOGDIR=$HOME/.paco/log
INCLUDE=/var:$PATH:/etc
EXCLUDE=$PKG_CONFIG_PATH:/dev:/proc:/sys:/tmp
The problem is that I expected wordexp() to be more portable than it
really is, and so I didn't provide any replacement. I have checked
that at least NetBSD does not have wordexp() by default.
This problem has been solved in the current development version, but
the replacement function only expands the variable HOME (for now).
This will be properly documented in the man page of pacorc.
I think that paco-1.10.5 will be released in a few days...
Summarizing: for paco >= 1.10.5, passing WORDEXP=y in uClibc won't be
required, but if WORDEXP is enabled then paco will be able to expand
any environment variable in pacorc.
Thanks for clearing that up.
However, the wordexp() issue with uClibc is actually quite minor
considering that I can't log the uClibc install. :(
Everything else seems fine, its only the uClibc install I'm having
trouble with so far.
Enabling wordexp() in uClibc is no problem, unless it poses some
sequrity threat (..?), I'll just put a note about it in the patch readme.
I guess NetBSD and maybe more will need some care, but that's out of my
scope ;)
