If you were to do that, at least have the decency to make it more readable by doing something like: printf "%s\n" 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 ;-) But as I said, as a response to "t6044 broken on pu" bug report, s/seq/test_seq/ is the only sensible change. Improving "test_seq, the alternative to seq" is a separate topic. If you have aversion to $PERL, perhaps do them without using anything what is not expected to be built-in in modern shells, perhaps like this? t/test-lib-functions.sh | 7 ++++++- 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/t/test-lib-functions.sh b/t/test-lib-functions.sh index 8d99eb3..4edddac 100644 --- a/t/test-lib-functions.sh +++ b/t/test-lib-functions.sh @@ -739,7 +739,12 @@ test_seq () { 2) ;; *) error "bug in the test script: not 1 or 2 parameters to test_seq" ;; esac - perl -le 'print for $ARGV[0]..$ARGV[1]' -- "$@" + test_seq_counter__=$1 + while test "$test_seq_counter__" -le $2 + do + echo "$test_seq_counter__" + test_seq_counter__=$((test_seq_counter__ + 1)) + done } # This function can be used to schedule some commands to be run -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
