Hi. Sorry I didn't report this issue earlier, but I thought it might be a FreeBSD only problem. Anyway since 2823903 reports the same issue I had I thought I'll push this upstream: There are more plugins containing bash4 incompatibilities. Have a look at the patches I made for FreeBSD:
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/www/nanoblogger/files/
All patches regarding plugins cope with bash4 problems as mentioned in 2823903. Note that I chose another way to work araound the problem.
Regards, Tobias
Hey, it's nice to have another pair of eyes on these things. Thank you! I must have run a pretty poor regex check against the tree before and missed those.
I took a quick look at your patches and they all seem to be dealing with the same syntax issue. I wonder if there's any other syntax issues that just haven't been encountered yet. When I can find the time, I'm going to look for a good summary of the changes between bash 3 and 4 to see if I can anticipate anymore of these unpleasant incompatibilities.
Hi. It seems you fixed this issue in SVN, right? Would you mind wrapping it up in a new release? This would enable me to update the FreeBSD port and eliminate local patches... local patches are bad :)
Regards Tobias
