Binary package hint: gnome-doc-utils
I have recently been attempting to export the documentation (created in Mallard) of a project on which I have been working to html using gnome-doc-utils but gnome-doc-tools consistently fails to convert the .page files, producing the following error:
gnome-doc-tool: 1: Bad substitution
and others leading from it.
This is due to gnome-doc-tool's urlencode and urldecode function making use of a feature specific to the bash shell (c=${arg:$i:1}) to select a character from a string where as the script's shell is specified as /bin/sh. I have attached a patch which replaces all instances of this by using the standard Unix cut utility which should completely fix this issue. |
