Hi!
The scripts in bin/ claim to be /bin/sh compatible, but use bashisms.
In particular, run, test, and testserver use the test(1) '=='
comparison operator which is only supported by bash, not even by GNU
coreutils. Use '=' instead.
bin/caldavd has
if [ "${py_version/./}" -lt "24" ]; then return 1; fi;
which gives
bin/caldavd: 50: Syntax error: Bad substitution
on NetBSD. I don't know what the portable version of this is, so I've
just used bash for that script.
bin/_build.sh uses 'type -P' which NetBSD's /bin/sh doesn't support
either; and the whitespace in 'Cyrus SASL' causes whitespace quoting
issues for me sometime during the build of cyrus-sasl.
The diff I'm using to get to 'bin/run -n' is attached.
(It's still not working, but the current problem is in twistd.)
Cheers,
Thomas
