Ciao, upon installing GIT I was bitten by the following behaviour of GNU Bash 3.1 (from the Info node "Bourne Shell Builtins"): | If a non-empty directory name from `CDPATH' is used, or if | `-' is the first argument, and the directory change is | successful, the absolute pathname of the new working | directory is written to the standard output. this is triggered by setting "CDPATH=.", that is including "." in the list, when "templates/Makefile" does: | (cd blt && $(TAR) cf - .) \ | (cd '$(DESTDIR_SQ)$(template_dir_SQ)' && umask 022 && $(TAR) xf -) the absolute file name goes into the pipe and the "tar xf -" fails with a "this does not look like a tar archive" error. The problem is fixed by: | (cd ./blt && $(TAR) cf - .) | ^^ Do not bother me asking why I put "." in CDPATH. By the way: the use of tar annoys me a little because the installed files are 0640, rather than 0644, and I have to fix it while building my custom Slackware package. :/ -- Marco Maggi "Now feel the funk blast!"
