Bash Version: 5.2
Patch Level: !PATCHLEVEL!
Release Status: rc2
Description:
bash 5.2 has introduced the `globskipdots' shopt which prevents
pathname expansion to match "." and ".." and is on by default.
When bash is starts in POSIX mode, it is also on by default,
it probably should not be for portability reasons.
Repeat-By:
bash-5.1$ ./bash --posix -c 'echo "$BASH_VERSION" .*'
5.2.0(4)-rc2 .build .gdb_history .git .gitignore .made
bash-5.1$ (exec -a sh ./bash -c 'echo "$BASH_VERSION" .*')
5.2.0(4)-rc2 .build .gdb_history .git .gitignore .made
Fix:
bash should turn globskipdots off at least when it starts in
POSIX mode.
It could also turn it off when `set -o posix' is run or
`POSIXLY_CORRECT' is set.
