...where the POSIX sh script assumes that integers are large enough for
|
22 |
64 bit values, or where the POSIX sh script calls a shell utility that
|
23 |
has a bug on certain archs that hasn't otherwise been a problem, or
|
24 |
where the POSIX sh script assumes things about the filesystem lib
|
25 |
directory layout that aren't true on some archs, or where the POSIX sh
|
26 |
script fishes around in /proc for something that's not there on some
|
27 |
archs, or where the package's build system depends upon a particular
|
28 |
version of 'make' that has been masked on some archs due to bugs, or
|
29 |
where the developer who thinks that a package is 'obviously' portable
|
30 |
is ignorant of portability issues.
