#104 | fixed | ash/dash: Convert backslashes to forward slashes in PATH-like environment vars | ||
Description |
There is a fundamental problem in Unix-like shells when run under OS/2: backslashes in PATH-like environment variables. The backslashes will be interpreted as escape sequences by the shell in many cases which will produce incorrect results. Examples of such cases include:
These cases are very common so a global solution is required — otherwise you have to patch each script to make path strings quoted and/or replace The obvious solution is to fix all well-known PATH-like environment variables at the beginning of shell execution by replacing backslashes with slashes. The only drawback here is the in theory a PATH-like variable may be treated differently by a script but for variables like PATH/TMPDIR etc this is very unlikely (and even wrong) because they have a well-defined global system meaning so it looks safe to patch them. Another potential problem is custom script-specific variables that also contain paths but this is something we can't cover. A good idea is to introduce an environment variable recognized by shells that will contain the names of all PATH-like environment variables to fix (and that will default to PATH/TMPDIR etc). |

#105 | fixed | Update ca-certificates bundle | ||
Description |
The current ca-certificates bundle dates from 2011. Since then, Fedora has actually modified its bundle from the stock Mozilla one to retain trust status for some older ones for compatibility reasons. We should determine whether these inclusions in the Fedora project are worth maintaining or whether we should simply package the Mozilla bundle for distribution on OS/2.
