Hi, |
| 2 |
|

bin/isolated-functions.sh does the following bit: |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
if [[ -z ${USERLAND} ]] ; then |
| 6 |
case $(uname -s) in |
| 7 |
*BSD|DragonFly) |
| 8 |
export USERLAND="BSD" |
| 9 |
;; |
| 10 |
*) |
| 11 |
export USERLAND="GNU" |
| 12 |
;; |
| 13 |
esac |
| 14 |
fi |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
(after which it uses USERLAND for a single purpose, to export XARGS to |
| 17 |
either GNU '[g]xargs -r', or BSD 'xargs') |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
This bit is problematic for Prefix, because Prefix may run on *BSD, but |
| 20 |
use USERLAND=GNU. The problem is theoretical at this point, |
| 21 |
occasionally people come in and want to use Prefix on *BSD again. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
Now I think Gentoo/BSD is theoretical too. It officially is no longer |
| 24 |
maintained[1]. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
So, question here is, do we want to retain this bit of historical |
| 27 |
compatibility work (also check things like gsed wrapper), or can it go, |
| 28 |
basically removing a potential problem for Gentoo Prefix? |
