Sorry about that complete and utter lie above. It's the other way
around, of course. If EOF is unquoted, shell expansion occurs within
the here-document. Additionally, as bash(1) states, newline handling
differs between the quoted and unquoted cases, so the quotes are
required in the case of our udev rules.
Matt,
I totally fail to understand that last statement.
Sorry, as you and Manuel rightly pointed out I screwed that last
statement up. Maybe I shouldn't bother with any LFS stuff tonight? :-)
The quotes are simply wrong in the case of the udev rules as it will
cause the \(newline) sequence to appear in the rules file as-is, which
won't do the right thing, AIUI. Maybe we should change the format of
the book to print in A3, or A4-landscape, then we wouldn't need to split
the long lines up :-)
Sorry for all the confusion folks.
Matt.
