2020-05-01Replace 'which' with 'command -v' to test for the existance of an executablejohnraff
This is considered to be more robust. Two instances remain: scripts/build/chroot_archives, line 257: if [ "${LB_APT}" = "aptitude" ] && [ ! $(Chroot chroot "which aptitude") ] The command is run inside a chroot where the environment might be special, and would need further testing. manpages/Makefile, line 42: @if [ ! -x "$$(which po4a 2>/dev/null)" ]; \ I am insufficiently familiar with makefile syntax to edit this.
2020-03-12Revert "Test for executables: replace 'which' with more robust 'command -v'"Luca Boccassi
This reverts commit 2d9ab1f7f82f9a98b97d1503c1e3f31c86061c15. Causes test failure due to bashism.
2020-03-12Test for executables: replace 'which' with more robust 'command -v'johnraff
Instances of: if [ $(which <command> ] have been replaced with: if command -v <command> >/dev/null which is considered to be more robust in a range of environments. scripts/build/chroot_archives: line 259: if [ "${LB_APT}" = "aptitude" ] && [ ! $(Chroot chroot "which aptitude") ] has been left untouched because the chroot might require a more complex command which would need more testing. manpages/Makefile: line 42: @if [ ! -x "$$(which po4a 2>/dev/null)" ]; \ has been left untouched because I am not sufficiently familiar with makefiles.
2020-03-11amend copyright & licensing blocksLyndon Brown
Current versions of the project files are built upon versions published and licensed by Daniel Baumann, but are modified copies of those files and thus need to be marked as such per licensing requirements (afaik he did not pass along ownership / licensing rights to anyone when he left the project). We should also be careful to not be misrepresenting such modified copies as being attributed to Daniel. Adding a new copyright line referring to "The Debian Live team" should suffice for this. The authorship block in man pages has also similarly been updated. Notes: - tweaked a copy of daniel copyright lines stating 2014 instead of 2015. both of these cases were in files that i had personally introduced in some of my past merged commits that moved some code around. i don't know why they stated 2014. - binary_onie was introduced in 2018, so that has a 2018 date instead of 2016 unlike the rest. - 'efi-image' is a 3rd-party (Canonical Ltd) work that we bundle, but it has been modified by 674794a8f4d61a729d2dbd6d99385d2826138694 and 36a3ba76347ef72df1c316312ed3a26aa4b0c816 so I similarly added a debian live copyright line. - 'grub-cpmodules' is similar. it was only changed by the indentation fix of 36a3ba76347ef72df1c316312ed3a26aa4b0c816 but modification is modification, and this does help cover any possible future changes that might be made.
2020-03-09fix consistency in binary execution and existance checkingLyndon Brown
- prefer using `which` over hard coded paths - it is redundant to check that the bin pointed to the return of `which` exists and is executable, `which` already gives us assurance of that if it returns true! - the redirection of output (`2>/dev/null`) seems to be unnecessary from my testing. the instances relatnig to fdisk and losetup in functions/defaults.sh have been left as they are since they get executed by `lb config` which can run without sudo elevation unlike `lb build` and in that case `which` would fail to find these binaries resulting in error. this also fixes a bug showing an error for missing debootstrap - this tool requires sudo privileges to run and thus is not found via a none elevated which search.
