Hi, Raphaƫl, are you aware that the change in live-build https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/debian-live/live-build.git/commit/?id=ff71712590a809d0f7ba680e787a9f091ed853b2 did not work and caused https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=881941 ?
Reason is obviously repeated shell parser evaluation of variable content with quotation marks. Daniel Reichelt proposes in bug 881941 to move the creation of the file up from the ISO production script "binary.sh" to the script producing script "binary_iso". Depending on when "binary.sh" gets finally executed this architectural change might cause undesired effects. Maybe one should rather strive to fix the problem more locally. The following gesture passes my test with ${XORRISO_OPTIONS} containing "-marks and '-marks. (Actually i use it since years in shell based backup scenarios.) The xorriso command line gets wrapped into '-marks for maximum resistence against further interpretation by the shell parser. The sed expression escapes '-marks by '"'"' (i.e. leave '-quotation, enter "-quotation, write '-literally, leave "-quotation, enter '-quotation). For scripts/build/binary_iso : ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DISK_MKISOFS="$(echo "xorriso -as mkisofs ${XORRISO_OPTIONS} -o ${IMAGE} binary" | sed -e s"/'/'"'"'"'"'"'"'/g")" cat >> binary.sh << EOF mkdir -p binary/.disk -echo "xorriso -as mkisofs ${XORRISO_OPTIONS} -o ${IMAGE} binary" > binary/.disk/mkisofs +echo '$DISK_MKISOFS' > binary/.disk/mkisofs xorriso -as mkisofs ${XORRISO_OPTIONS} -o ${IMAGE} binary EOF ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tested by: $ XORRISO_OPTIONS='a "b c" d'" 'x y'" $ echo "$XORRISO_OPTIONS $IMAGE" a "b c" d 'x y' image $ IMAGE=image $ DISK_MKISOFS="$(echo "xorriso -as mkisofs ${XORRISO_OPTIONS} -o ${IMAGE} binary" | sed -e s"/'/'"'"'"'"'"'"'/g")" $ cat > binary.sh << EOF > echo '$DISK_MKISOFS' > mki > EOF This yields in binary.sh echo 'xorriso -as mkisofs a "b c" d '"'"'x y'"'"' -o image binary' > mki Execution of binary.sh yields in "mki" xorriso -as mkisofs a "b c" d 'x y' -o image binary Have a nice day :) Thomas
