install.sh breaks using wget

[Brad Crittenden]

Running the 'wget' installation method fails.

% wget -q -O- http://linux.dell.com/dru/install.sh | bash /dev/stdin devel

[...]

Setting up squashfs-tools (3.1r2-6) ...
Setting up syslinux (3.11-3ubuntu4) ...
/dev/stdin: line 44: syntax error near unexpected token `else'
/dev/stdin: line 44: ` else'

I should've mentioned this was on a Feisty machine.

This is very odd, seeing as how there is only one 'else' in that entire file, and it shouldn't run anywhere close to that point.

If you could do me a favor and do:

wget http://linux.dell.com/dru/install.sh
chmod 755 install.sh
sed -i '2s/^/set -x/' install.sh
./install.sh devel

And paste that result here, it would be very helpful. Thanks.

Following the directions you posted above works.

Seeing it work, though, I'm pretty surprised at everything that gets installed. I'm not sure most people would expect all of these packages to be installed when all they really want is a copy of the source code. In fact, I chose to use the second method provided on the DRU web site precisely because I didn't want to install Hg.

[Michael Morgan (mikmorg)]

Do you mean that you used 'hg clone'?

The problem with any mercurial pre-0.9.4 is that 'hg clone' will not
download symbolic links properly. There are files in drudell which are
links to other files, under systems/.

You could also use http://linux.dell.com/hg/drudell/archive/tip.tar.gz
to download the drudell tip, and
http://linux.dell.com/hg/dru/archive/tip.tar.gz for DRU.

We should probably begin discussion about moving to Bazaar. I need to
first research that program a bit before diving head first.

The package dependencies are only partially 'required'. The requirements
for DRU could be split from that of DRUdell, to make it much lighter. At
the moment, the script installs both projects, so it was not my concern
to split them yet.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

The install script seems to break only when run the first time. I'm still not sure why. This should be run on a clean machine with set -x on, so we can tell exactly when it breaks.

The 'else' on line 44 is non-existent, but this bug is reproduceable. Is this something with APT being called?

[Michael Morgan (mikmorg)]

Install scripts were completely rewritten, and added under dru/docs directory in repository. This should fix any problems.
