hi,
=~ no longer working in bash. just try this little line:
-----------------------------
if [[ "abc" =~ "abc.*" ]]; then echo inside; else echo outside; fi
-----------------------------
this give "inside" up to fedora-12, but it gives
"outside" in fedora-13.
imho it's a serious changes since all shell script will fail which use
=~ :-(
is there any reason for this? or any quick fixes?
This bit us in libguestfs too, where we'd used the bash extension
without thinking that they'd break it on us.
The full fix is *not* just quote removal.
cf. our first fix:
http://git.annexia.org/?p=libguestfs.git;a=commitdiff;h=457fccae1b665347f...
and out later, complete fix:
http://git.annexia.org/?p=libguestfs.git;a=commitdiff;h=4891ff9945177e866...
Huge pain in the neck .. bash should retain backwards compatibility,
even for non-POSIX extensions.
