---------------------------------------------------------------------- (0006144) mirabilos (reporter) - 2023-02-06 01:46 https://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=1632#c6144 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- I’d prefer HOME= to be treated the same as HOME=/ wrt. expansion, and to make sure that these are logical concatenations of pathnames, e.g. '/home' + 'foo' = '/home/foo' but '/' + 'foo' = '/foo'. This avoids both “naïve” string concatenation and the problem of having to decide what to do with an empty string; I consider an empty string to not be a valid pathname and therefore not a valid expansion for a sole tilde. I’m happy to change mksh to match; from a Debian perspective, we’re entering soft freeze in a few days so a speedy decision would be welcome.
