System: rn version 4.1
Bug #: 21
Priority: LOW
Subject: filexp (the shell script) doesn't do ~/ or ~ right.
Index: Configure
From: steven@mcvax.UUCP (Steven Pemberton)
Description:
There is a little shell script spit out by Configure to do tilde (~)
substitution on systems that don't have csh. Unfortunately, it
doesn't do ~ or ~/* correctly if your home directory name happens
to contain a slash (heh heh).
Repeat-By:
Say "filexp ~".
Fix: You can change this either in Configure or in filexp itself as you
see fit.
From rn, say "| patch FILENAME -d DIR", where DIR is your rn source
directory, and FILENAME is either filexp or Configure. Outside of
rn, say "cd DIR; patch FILENAME <thisarticle". If you don't have
the patch program, apply the following by hand, or get patch.
Be sure to run Configure if you patch that, and reinstall filexp
in your rnlib.
