Hello maintainer,
While checking for bashisms in debian/rules with checkbashisms (from
the 'devscripts' package) I've found your package making use of a bashism.
checkbashisms' output:
> possible bashism in svgalib/debian/rules line 53 (brace expansion):
> install{headers,{shared,static}lib,config,utils}
> possible bashism in svgalib/debian/rules line 65 (brace expansion):
> Makefile.cfg doc/man3/gl_*tri*.3
> doc/man6/{plane,wrapdemo}.6 \
> possible bashism in svgalib/debian/rules line 97 (brace expansion):
> for f in debian/$(bin)/usr/bin/{dumpreg,restore*}; do \
Not using bash (or a Debian Policy conformant shell interpreter which does
provide such an extra feature) as /bin/sh is likely to lead to errors or
unexpected behaviours.
Please be aware that although bash is currently the default /bin/sh there's a
release goal for Lenny to make dash the default /bin/sh[1].
If you want more information about dash as /bin/sh, you can read:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-release/2008/01/msg00189.html
For more information please refer to the Debian Policy section 10.4 supporting
this argument at:
http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-files.html#s-scripts
Hints about how to fix bashisms:
Sometimes these bugs are already fixed in Ubuntu, look at the PTS.
If not already fixed you can read:
