Hi Guillaume, Thanks for the comments. As this is related with a large patch series from Hangbin, and other scripts use "source" during the conversion, so we may need some input from Hangbin. Hi Hangbin, Could you please share your comments on this? Would you like to replace "source" with "." for these two specific scripts as Guillaume suggested, or change the shebang from "sh" to "bash"? Best Regards, Yujie
