"... the amount of GUI-bound users will increase there as well. ..." we are talking about C programmers experienced enought to give writing an extension a try, aren't we? Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-10-04 03:46:49] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Suspending until some brave hero wants to slay the dragon. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-10-04 02:47:06] [EMAIL PROTECTED] This is a real problem on Desktop OSes such as Mac OS X, where spaces in directory names are common (The default volume name is "Macintosh HD"). As the Linux desktops get better, the amount of GUI-bound users will increase there as well. This will undoubtedly make spaces in directory names more common across the board. I understand that fixing this is hard because there are a ton of places that are potentially broken, but that's no real excuse for closing this. Let's leave it open for someone to fix. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-10-03 21:33:56] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Trying to support spaces in path names opens up a can of worms without any real benefit. If your administrator has made the mistake to give you a home directory beneath such a path, complain to him/her. It is very likely that the person is simply inexperienced. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-10-02 07:41:12] [EMAIL PROTECTED] I don't think so... Perhaps "blanks in dirnames are a no-no for developers", but why one should do exotic things like: $cp /usr/local/bin/phpize /home/user/my_ext/phpize $cd /home/user/my_ext $vi phpize ... $./phpize Is it possible that one have no control over upper level dirs? I think nothing should not be done in one and only one situation: the patch will have some negative side effects. In the case I don't see ones. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-10-02 07:14:36] [EMAIL PROTECTED] why do you do that? even if we fix this -> blanks in dirnames are a no-no for developers this fires back in lots of places (e.g. find ... | xargs ... ) so it is an absolute bad idea in the first place ... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
