Re: [PATCH] posix-shell.m4: reject Solaris 11's /bin/sh (due to umask)
Jim Meyering [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I discovered that Solaris 11's /bin/sh exhibits the following surprising behavior: $ /bin/sh -c 'umask 22; (umask 0); umask' That would cause test failures in coreutils, because gl_POSIX_SHELL accepted /bin/sh. The following change is enough to make gl_POSIX_SHELL reject that shell and instead use /bin/bash, which is also provided: posix-shell.m4: reject Solaris 11's /bin/sh (due to umask) * m4/posix-shell.m4 (gl_POSIX_SHELL): Reject a shell that lets a umask modification leak out of a subshell. Otherwise, Solaris 11's /bin/sh would be accepted and thus cause unwarranted failures in coreutils test suite. I've pushed that change.

Hi Jim, I discovered that Solaris 11's /bin/sh ... What is Solaris 11? Do you have any references? Neither Wikipedia [1] nor the Sun documentation [2] mention such a release. Bruno [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solaris_(operating_system) [2] http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/prod/solaris
