Hello,
since the commit 0ab42164bd294970997ac8d9111ca19fea72b56f the bash
version needs to be 4.2 or newer. And this makes ptxdist unusable on
Redhat 6 (which will only go EOL after 2020, so it is not exactly a
death distro)
If I understand the commit, only one line of code in the whole of
ptxdist wants bash 4.2.
'exec {readfd}< "${fifo}"' in scripts/lib/ptxd_make_serialize.sh
Sadly I am not exactly a bash guru, but is there really no way to do
this with an older bash?
Redhat 6 has bash;
GNU bash, version 4.1.2(1)-release (x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu)
Replacing a shell (without changing /bin/bash) seems really hard because
of all the #!/bin/bash that is used in ptxdist scripts.
here a quick link to the commit;
http://git.pengutronix.de/?p=ptxdist.git;a=commit;h=0ab42164bd294970997ac8d9111ca19fea72b56f
TIA,
Erwin
