#25823: muniversal fails when filename contains chars special to the shell, like parens -------------------------------------+-------------------------------------- Reporter: ryandesign@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 1.9.1 Keywords: | Port: -------------------------------------+-------------------------------------- Comment(by dluke@…): I think system doesn't redirect the command's STDOUT (so you could potentially see the progress as the command is being run) and since it does shell expansion and returns the return code of the program it might be easier to use in some situations. I can't really think of a reason to use it over exec, though - but I'm not really a tcl expert of any kind. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/25823#comment:8> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
