https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=292999 Bug ID: 292999 Summary: Porter's Handbook: Document valid chars for RC script file names Product: Documentation Version: Latest Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Some People Priority: --- Component: Books & Articles Assignee: doc@FreeBSD.org Reporter: michaelo@FreeBSD.org This is a spinoff of bug 292378. We need at least a sentence in the handbook which says which characters are valid in a RC script file name. It seems that the unwritten convention is to stick to shell variable names: a-z, A-Z, 0-9, _. Expllicitly not hypen-minus (-) because it is not an allowed char in variable names, yet some ports still use it making it inconsist with the *_enable variable. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.home | help
