Broken rules in d-i/utils/
I just discovered the following part of d-i/utils/, included in
version 0.18:
# di-utils-partitioner
install -d \
debian/di-utils-partitioner/usr/share/debian-installer/partapps
for f in `find partapps/* -type f -a ! -name "archmaps.txt" -maxdepth 0
-print`; do \
cp -v $$f \
debian/di-utils-partitioner/usr/share/debian-installer/partapps; \
done
cd debian/di-utils-partitioner/usr/share/debian-installer/partapps && \
cat partapps/archmaps.txt | while read $LINE; do \
set -- $$LINE; \
ln -s $$2 $$1; \
done
This do not work. First of all 'read $LINE' should read 'read LINE'.
Second, first doing 'cd partapps' and then 'cat partapps/archmaps.txt'
is broken. Third, the file archmaps.txt is missing. The blamelist
point at tsauter and the date 2003-02-25.
I was planning to upload the new version to get a version of
di-utils-shell which uses the new cdebconf, but became unsure when I
found this strange code.
Is it safe to upload debian-installer-utils?
