I misunderstood and thought that the [ command wasn't included at all in the source tree due to a recent commit error (implying that all shell scripts that depended on it would break). Apologies. Nevertheless it should be there. echo is also a built-in in most shells, yet there is also a /bin/echo. The original sh had no builtins at all, I think, and different shells have different selections of built-ins. -Olaf. -- ___ Olaf 'Rhialto' Seibert -- The Doctor: No, 'eureka' is Greek for \X/ rhialto/at/xs4all.nl-- 'this bath is too hot.' pgpDrkMs3GCyV.pgp Description: PGP signature

I can confirm that this is a problem. There appears to be confusion about whether or not file names should be subjected to vis/unvis encoding. This should be fixed in src/distrib/sets/join.awk revision 1.4. I will request a pullup to netbsd-7. --apb (Alan Barrett) unfortunately, Revision 1.5 of the fix had to be backed out (current still has revision 1.4, but both were backed out of netbsd-7), because it caused sets to blow up during a build. (all files got included in all sets) I notified Alan separately, and hopefully the fix will soon be fixed! :) +j

./bin/[ appears in the set lists and METALOG, as
expected, but the ${MTREE} -CS ... command in line 180 of
src/distrib/sets/maketars changes it to ./bin/\133, and then the
${PAX} -dOw ... command in line 199 fails to add the file to
base.tgz, and it also doesn't print an error message about failure
to add the file.

base.tgz no longer contains './bin/[' (in HEAD and netbsd-7)
Hi! While looking for old / outdated binaries in userland I noticed that './bin/[' is no longer updated / part of base.tgz (or any other *.tgz file) in HEAD and netbsd-7, though it still seems to be listed in 'src/distrib/sets/lists/base/mi'. Is this a known bug? Otherwise I can send-pr ... Regards, Markus.
