Package: ifupdown
Version: 0.6.4-4.10
Severity: wishlist
While trying to rebuild ifupdown I noticed that makenwdep.sh was
generating bogus output, e.g.
-e defn2man.pl : ifupdown.nw
-e notangle -R$@ $< >$@
-e chmod 755 defn2man.pl
This was due to my system having /bin/sh --> /bin/dash, which is POSIX
conformant and thus does not support "-e" to echo. However, as you see
the escape sequences was indented and properly parsed.
Adding the following line to the top of mkenwdep.sh script did the trick.
#!/bin/bash
I'm not sure using /bin/sh and removing -e from echo works on all
/bin/sh, probably not. Best to use bash, I guess.
