Hi,
I hope this is the right forum for reporting gettext bugs.
In my bash scripts I set "nounset" (and errexit) to prevent unset
variables from being used. Using variables which might not be set is
convenient in interactive shell sessions but dangerous in non-
interactive scripts.
Using...
shopt -o -s errexit nounset
source gettext.sh
...in a script results in:
/usr/bin/gettext.sh: line 43: ZSH_VERSION: unbound variable
...which refers to the following line in gettext.sh: "if test -z
"$ZSH_VERSION"; then".
if [ x${ZSH_VERSION+set} = xset ]
and
if [ -n "${ZSH_VERSION+x}" ]
portably test for the existence of a variable (tip from zsh mailing
list)
While there is a workaround for this (first sourcing, then setting
"nounset"), I'd still consider this a bug. Is this enough to qualify for
a bug report?
