| Summary | 0004204: v1.11.x basename applet exit code inconsistent with dirname's, previous versions | ||||||||
| Description |
The busybox 'basename' applet exits with a non-zero return code. This is inconsistent with the behaviour of the dirname applet, with basename in previous (1.10.x and earlier) busybox releases, and with coreutils. The non-zero return code breaks scripts which expect `basename "$0" || echo "$0" | sed '[...]'` to cater for basename being absent on any given system. Consequently, for example, grep 2.5.1a [latest known good out-of-box version] builds in a chroot environment with busybox 1.10.4 as basename, but not with 1.11.1. |
