- OVSDIR=$srcdir/ovs + OVSDIR=$(cd $srcdir/ovs; pwd)This transformation less safe than it looks at first. Since = doesn't do word splitting, OVSDIR=$srcdir/ovs doesn't need quotes on the right. The "cd" command (and all other commands) does do word splitting, so it needs "" to have a comparable level of safety: OVSDIR=$(cd "$srcdir/ovs"; pwd)
Thanks for the note, Ben. I suppose this is the reason why the shortcut advice from most shell experts is to always quote everything :)
