I've updated mime-support to 3.66. It replaces tempfile with mktemp. While your solution is indeed better and more portable, mktemp should work as well. I'd like to try keeping the port as close as possible to the upstream version. Please check if your initial problem is fixed with 3.66 (tempfile) and report back. Sorry for the late answer on that topic. closed due to timeout. |
Created attachment 215143 [details] patch for port misc/mime-support to improve tempfile name generation When run-mailcap is called with a filename containing shell metacharacters, it attempts to symlink a temporary filename to the original file before calling a mime-type-specific program to process the file. The subroutine TempFile, which is supposed to return the temporary filename, calls the linux-specific program "tempfile". On FreeBSD this call fails silently, causing TempFile to return an empty string, causing the calling loop to iterate endlessly. The attached patch implements two changes: 1. Instead of calling the executable "tempfile", use perl's File::Temp which should work on all platforms 2. If the calling loop reaches fifty iterations, die
