Hello Jonathan,
I was reading through your release notes (blog entry) here:
http://www.perkin.org.uk/posts/whats-new-in-pkgsrc-2013Q2.html
and stumbled upon this bit of information:
: Also on OmniOS 'od' is located in a different location
$ sed -i -e 's,/usr/bin/od,/usr/gnu/bin/od,' /opt/local/bin/startx
I believe (didn't try yet) that /opt/local/bin/startx is a script;
It is.
wouldn't it be more correct to have it handle setting the proper
environment - either as force-prepending its PATH defaults (and
not using full paths to commands), or perhaps defining variables
for the full paths to binaries?
No, it would be more correct to have a real /usr/bin/od command on the
system, even if it's just a symlink to /usr/gnu/bin/od - not having one
is just asking to break scripts. I'm not going to take a long convoluted
hack upstream at X.Org to work around such incompatible behavior for one
distro.
On the other hand, just before seeing this mail I'd sent a patch off
for code review upstream at X.Org that will prefer the openssl command
over /bin/od /dev/urandom... on Solarish platforms anyway:
http://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/14235/
so the problem may get solved as a side effect of that.
