[gentoo-alt] Re: More on bootstrap-rap.sh issues

[Benda Xu]

Hi Martin,

Shall we discuss technical issues and bugs in the public mailing list?

Yeah, but your scripts should also call bash with those two options,

IMHO, your system has a bogus /ete/profile. And you can undo the
system-wide hacks in your $HOME/.profile and/or $HOME/.bash_profile on
your own.

It is hard for me to regard this as a bug of bootstrap-prefix.sh.

Some users will later need to add some customization in their profile to
achieve something with the bootstrap script. Your proposed modification
will be a regression for them.

How about the following?
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Prefix/Bootstrap
- ./bootstrap-bash.sh /var/tmp/bash
+ ~/bash-4.4/bash ./bootstrap-bash.sh --noprofile --norc /var/tmp/bash

I hesitate to do changes like this. Because it might introduce
unpredicted regressions, and our build farm need more work to function
perfectly to guard against these regressions.

Yours,
Benda
