bigtop-packages/src/common/hadoop/do-component-build contains bash syntax but
is executed by dash on Debian/Ubuntu
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: BIGTOP-278
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BIGTOP-278
Project: Bigtop
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Debian
Affects Versions: 0.2.0
Environment: Ubuntu Precise and Ubuntu Lucid
Reporter: James Page
Assignee: James Page
Priority: Minor
Ubuntu does not use bash as its default shell; as a result
bigtop-packages/src/common/hadoop/do-component-build gets executed by dash
which does not correctly evaluate:
[...]
if [[ $AUTOCONF_VERSION > 2.60 ]]; then
DO_AUTORECONF="create-c++-configure"
fi
fi
This generates a fleeting error message during the build process.
Switching the call to this script in bigtop-packages/src/deb/hadoop/rules to
use bash instead of sh to execute this script resolves the issue (I will work
on a patch).
However the do-component-build script itself uses #!/bin/sh which is not really
correct either - it might make sense to change this and execute this script
directly through debian/rules rather than force execution with bash - opinions
invited.
