Bug#331223: devscripts: FTBFS with /bin/sh - dash

2005-10-02 Thread Peter Samuelson 

Package: devscripts
Version: 0.9.7
Severity: minor

My /bin/sh is dash rather than bash.  Building devscripts:

  ...
  sh -n cvs-debrelease
  cvs-debrelease: 111: Syntax error: ( unexpected (expecting fi)
  make[1]: *** [cvs-debrelease] Error 2

It works if I change 'sh -n' to 'bash -n', but that's suboptimal, as it
won't catch inadvertent bashisms in #!/bin/sh scripts.

cvs-debrelease is full of bashisms. Imho putting /bin/bash at the top is
the best fix unless someone wants to do a full audit.

Oh, it uses #!/bin/bash already.  It's just the makefile that uses
sh -n for sanity checking at package build time.
