libbash weekly report #4
Time passes fast…
Progress of previous week
- Still fixing some things in the commits from the previous sprint, including rewriting the read builtin to be less “C-like”
- Improve the declare builtin with multiple variables, value assignment, and the “
-i”, “-a” and “-g” options. - Use script content as script name, to make it easy to identify errors
- Finish some touches on redirection, adapting the tests to a little change in the grammar, and adding support for “here strings”
(<<<). With this we can finish generating metadata without blocking in the read builtin waiting for input.
Plan for this week
- Fix commits from previous week
- Improve command arguments parsing
- Upgrade our instruo implementation to work with paludis 0.74.1
- Fix configure to fail when paludis is not installed
