we were assigning local variable to an array coming through positional arguments. local is a non posix contruct thats also supported by dash luckily but operates differently in this case it exapnds the array before assignment. so
local pkgs="$@" turns into pkgs=locale-base-en-us locale-base-en-gb ant we see errors run.do_rootfs.25593: 932: local: locale-base-en-gb: bad variable name So lets not use defining and assigning local in one go first define a local and then the assignment Signed-off-by: Khem Raj <[email protected]> --- meta/classes/package_rpm.bbclass | 7 ++++++- 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/meta/classes/package_rpm.bbclass b/meta/classes/package_rpm.bbclass index b4bc52e..50e9b31 100644 --- a/meta/classes/package_rpm.bbclass +++ b/meta/classes/package_rpm.bbclass @@ -200,7 +200,12 @@ rpm_update_pkg () { process_pkg_list_rpm() { local insttype=$1 shift - local pkgs="$@" + # $@ is special POSIX linear array can not be assigned + # to a local variable directly in dash since its separated by + # space and dash expands it before assignment + # and local x=1 2 3 and not x="1 2 3" + local pkgs + pkgs="$@" local confbase=${INSTALL_CONFBASE_RPM} echo -n > ${target_rootfs}/install/base_archs.pkglist -- 1.7.9.5 _______________________________________________ Openembedded-core mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linuxtogo.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openembedded-core
