--------------------------------------
> configure fails when using bash 3.1.x
> -------------------------------------
>
> Key: MODPYTHON-122
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MODPYTHON-122
> Project: mod_python
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: core
> Affects Versions: 3.1.4, 3.2.7
> Environment: Any platform using bash 3.1.x
> Reporter: Jim Gallacher
> Assigned To: Jim Gallacher
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 3.3, 3.2.10

> A bug in bash 3.1 causes configure to fail. This has been reported on recent
> versions of Gentoo and and discussed on the mod_python mailing list:
> http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=118948
> http://www.modpython.org/pipermail/mod_python/2006-January/019965.html
> http://www.modpython.org/pipermail/mod_python/2006-January/019969.html
> According to the gentoo bug report, the problem in configure.in is the double
> backslash escape sequence in the line:
> MP_VERSION=`echo $MP_VERSION | sed s/\\"//g`
> Changing this to:
> MP_VERSION=`echo $MP_VERSION | sed s/\"//g`
> fixes it for bash 3.1.
> I wonder why mod_python is using \\" since the gentoo fix seems to work ok
> with bash 3.0 (and GNU sed) just as well. Is it there to support other
> shells, other sed versions, older bash versions... ??
> I suggest mod_python adopts the gentoo fix, or avoids the problem altogether
> by using tr. eg.
> MP_VERSION=`echo $MP_VERSION | tr -d '"'`
