gzexe: /usr/bin/gzip -> /bin/gzip + fix gzexe's sleep expectancy

[emh@…]

/usr/bin/gzexe refers to /usr/bin/gzip, which is moved to /bin/gzip by the install script.

fix: sed 's/"BINDIR"/\/bin/' gzexe.in > gzexe.fixed mv gzexe.fixed gzexe.in

it expects sleep to be in /usr/bin but it's in /bin

check gzexe for more locations and make sure they exist.

[gerard@…]

instead of sed'ing to change the path of gzip in the gzexe script how about just ./configure --bindir=/bin and be done with it. It's not a biggie if gzexe is in /bin

confirmed that fixing bug 251 will fix this bug. closing bug as duplicate

gzexe hardcodes:

/bin/sleep

/usr/bin/gzip

The /bin/sleep thing will be dealt with by Bug 251 which will move sleep to this location anyways. We need to fix the gzip path though as we move gzip to /bin/gzip

ok. here's a bit more info on this bug. Here is a list of which programs gzexe refers to and how it calls them listed by package.

Fileutils: ========== cp: cp chmod: chmod in some places; /bin/chmod in others... ln: /bin/ln ls: ls rm: rm in some places; /bin/rm in others...

Grep: ===== grep: grep

Gzip: ===== gzip: /usr/bin/gzip

Sed: ==== sed: sed in some places: /bin/sed in others...

Sh-utils: ========= basename: basename sleep: /bin/sleep

Textutils: ========== tail: gzexe checks all directories in the path for this then stores the

absolute location in a variable (!?! why not just refer to tail?)

[gerard@…]

The suggested --bindir won't work with gzip because it's configure script isn't one of those autoconf generated ones. So we'll go with the sed:

cp gzexe.in gzexe.in.backup sed 's%"BINDIR"%/bin%' gzexe.in.backup > gzexe.in

[markh@…]

confirmed that the sed works as expected
