That, or use ${fn} - that might be more resistant to quotes in |
| 20 |
filenames though I haven't looked closely into that. |

If you look at most ebuilds they're full of quoted or braced variables |
| 23 |
for exactly this reason. If you want to stick spaces in your |
| 24 |
directory paths that is your mess to deal with, but Gentoo won't |
| 25 |
break. |

On a side note, if you have a directory full of crufty filenames the |
| 28 |
detox program is very useful for cleaning them up. Of course, that is |
| 29 |
invasive and you probably don't want to rely on that in your script. |
