Bug ID: 11426
Summary: pps-tools bash dependency
Product: buildroot
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: minor
Priority: P5
Component: Other
Assignee: unassigned at buildroot.uclibc.org
Reporter: jan.dohl at airrays.com
CC: buildroot at uclibc.org
Target Milestone: ---
When installing the pps-tools package without installing Bash, the ppsfind
script in the package will not work. For example:
# uname -a
Linux xla 4.14.0-xla #4 SMP PREEMPT Fri Oct 19 17:56:30 CEST 2018 aarch64
GNU/Linux
# ppsfind
-sh: ppsfind: not found
# which ppsfind
/usr/bin/ppsfind
# cat /usr/bin/ppsfind | head -n 1
#!/bin/bash
Not sure what the best course of action is here, though. I think making Bash a
dependency for pps-tools is not a good idea. The ppsfind script works fine by
just replacing the shebang with /bin/sh instead. The latter is probably also a
good suggestion for the upstream repository.
Would a patch for the time being while also reporting this to the upstream be a
good idea?
