urlview's url_handler.sh is written in bash. FreeBSD installations which did not want to install bash will not be able to run it. Fix: Generally (I don't know sh vs. bash), rewrite in sh, and patch it on installation. How-To-Repeat: Deinstall bash if present, and execute url_handler.sh.

This probably should be added to the urlview port as it is a useful script. Also, according to the urlview man page, url_handler.sh is the default COMMAND that urlview uses. The maintainer of the port is obrien@FreeBSD.org so I would guess this PR should be directed to him. --- url_handler.sh.orig Wed Dec 6 21:20:40 2000 +++ url_handler.sh Wed Dec 6 21:26:26 2000 @@ -1,4 +1,4 @@ -#! /bin/bash +#! /bin/sh # Copyright (c) 1998 Martin Schulze <joey@debian.org> # Slightly modified by Luis Francisco Gonzalez <luisgh@debian.org> @@ -28,11 +28,11 @@ # VT: Launch in the same terminal # The lists of programs to be executed are -https_prgs="/usr/X11R6/bin/netscape:XW /usr/bin/lynx:XT" -http_prgs="/usr/bin/lynx:XT /usr/X11R6/bin/netscape:XW" -mailto_prgs="/usr/bin/mutt:VT /usr/bin/elm:VT /usr/bin/pine:VT /usr/bin/mail:VT" -gopher_prgs="/usr/bin/lynx:XT /usr/bin/gopher:XT" -ftp_prgs="/usr/bin/lynx:XT /usr/bin/ncftp:XT" +https_prgs="/usr/local/bin/netscape:XW /usr/local/bin/lynx:XT /usr/local/bin/w3m:XT" +http_prgs="/usr/local/bin/netscape:XW /usr/local/bin/lynx:XT /usr/local/bin/w3m:XT" +mailto_prgs="/usr/local/bin/mutt:VT /usr/local/bin/elm:VT /usr/local/bin/pine:VT /usr/bin/mail:VT" +gopher_prgs="/usr/local/bin/lynx:XT /usr/local/bin/gopher:XT" +ftp_prgs="/usr/local/bin/lynx:XT /usr/local/bin/ncftp:XT /usr/local/bin/ncftp2:XT /usr/local/bin/ncftp3:XT" # Program used as an xterm (if it doesn't support -T you'll need to change # the command line in getprg) @@ -42,7 +42,7 @@ ########################################################################### # Change bellow this at your own risk ########################################################################### -function getprg() +getprg() { local ele tag prog @@ -114,7 +114,3 @@ $prg "$url" fi fi - - - - -- Glenn Johnson glennpj@charter.net
