<rant> Hell, this is exactly why I hate bash and similar do-what-you-guess-I-mean languages. Scripts doing more complex stuff get either fragile or extremely complicated. When working on multiple-outputs stdenv stuff I partially attempted to be safe whatever characters are in paths, but the code would be extremely cumbersome if I wanted to cover all cases. UNIX is insane in that way, allowing almost any characters in paths but not providing good tools to handle them. </rant> Vladimir _______________________________________________ nix-dev mailing list nix-dev@lists.science.uu.nl http://lists.science.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev
