Status: Open Priority: 3 Submitted By: Nobody (None) Assigned to: Nobody (None) Summary: 'readlink -f' is not portable Distribution: --Distribution-Agnostic-- Originally reported in: None Milestone: None Status: None Original bug number: Initial Comment: Anonymous message posted by jackna...@gmail.com The _realcommand() function in the bash_completion script sniffs for readlink(1) and then uses 'readlink -f' to resolve symlinks. However, this is not portable; the readlink shipping with at least Mac OS X (and I would imagine some of BSDs) does not have the '-f' option. AFAIK it isn't possible to use this readlink to resolve multiple levels of symlinks. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://alioth.debian.org/tracker/?func=detail&atid=413095&aid=313659&group_id=100114 _______________________________________________ Bash-completion-devel mailing list Bash-completion-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/bash-completion-devel
