It turns ou that I was not quite correct regarding the cause of cd printing the 'new' directory. It is due

I now see that the root account usually does not change the behaviour of cd, so we may as well forget about the matter. My thought was: if a small change helps avoid this problem (which I think can occur easily enough), it could be

What shells are these? You don't give an example that causes trouble, and in particular no way to reproduce this. The behaviour you describe is prohibited by the POSIX standard, so the problem would appear to be with the unnamed shell. I can see how it could happen if a user redefines 'cd', but then a user could redefine all the commands in his OS and we have to make some

--Boundary_(ID_erFAa+o6kWefQxXf6GD2RA) Content-type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-disposition: inline Content-transfer-encoding: 7bit Dear all, I came across puzzling behaviour of R CMD INSTALL, which I tracked down to the fact that in some shells (or in some user customizations of them), the cd command prints out the new directory. As a result, the $pkgs variable gets a

Hi, There's exactly one usage of the dirent.d_ino member in the whole project, which is in the readdir loop in scp.c, like this: while (readdir) { if (d_ino == 0) continue; [...] } This loop is basically taken from rcp.c as far as I can see. However, I have two problems here. - First, I have no idea why and when readdir should return an entry with a 0 inode number. Is

For what it's worth, Autoconf does not assume that arithmetic expansion will be available. Instead, it emits the following shell code: if ( eval 'test $(( 1 + 1 )) = 2' ) 2>/dev/null; then eval 'func_arith () { func_arith_result=$(( $* )) }' else func_arith () { func_arith_result=`expr "$@"` } fi 2017-12-17 23:55 GMT+01:00 Rodrigo Tobar

Dear all, During a recent package submission, we were highlighted that some lines in our configure script didn't follow the correct syntax. The lines looked like this: x=$(($y/10)) We were indicated at the time that this is because the statement does not use Bourne shell syntax, which is absolutely true, and also that the manual warns about this, which is true again. So far everything

I do not have a dog in this fight, but I have to ask: How much person time is worthwhile to invest in supporting Solaris 10? It has been closed-source (Post-Oracle) <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solaris_(operating_system)#Post-Oracle_closed_source_(Solaris_10_after_March_2010,_and_Solaris_11_(2011_and_later))> since March 2010.

Solaris is pretty much dead at this point (closed source or not), but it is not the only oddball OS around. The need to support a wide palette of (Unix) OS variations has been rapidly declining in later years. Fifteen years ago every supercomputer seemed to have its own set of OS quirks and we wanted to be able to support the cutting edge. Now things seem to converge on a few variations on the

Among other things, this says '$((EXPRESSION))' Arithmetic expansion is not portable as some shells (most notably Solaris 10 '/bin/sh') don't support it. motivating

I have been storing the output of facter in a database with the assumption that uniqueid was actually unique, until I found that it is the same for a handful of my machines. It appears that uniqueid is set from the output of hostid. I checked into hostid and it gets its value from gethostid().

It is setting TZ and using tzset(). R is not multi-threaded so it is safe. Simon figure out the important settings from the config.log and config.h files on a musl system: /* #undef USE_INTERNAL_MKTIME */ #define HAVE_TM_GMTOFF 1 #define HAVE_TM_ZONE 1 Does this help anyone debug the issue?
