Would upstream consider this a good approach? Thanks, Ondrej
Hi, I investigated this bug report:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=987975
and found out that some of bash's builtins (source at the very least) do
not canonicalize
pathnames given as arguments (builtin "open" is instead fed with the
path - failing in the BZ case).
The builtin "cd" seems to handle relative paths correctly. I think it
would be reasonable to take part of
cd's canonicalization code and use it in other builtins as well. I'd
gladly take care of the patch.
