Util-linux's getopt implementation does +not have such a restriction and allows any parameter to be embedded +in short options. As a consequence, using the compatibility getopt +script would choke for example on "-pab", which is a legal option +of the "quilt refresh" command. + +Remove the limitation on digits so that the compatibility getopt +script allows what util-linux allows. This fixes the second half +of bug #54772: +https://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/index.php?54772 + +As a side note, this feature of the compatibility script was broken +anyway, as it would output the digits in reverse order. + +Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare <jdelvare@suse.de> +--- + compat/getopt.in | 13 ++++--------- + 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 9 deletions(-) + +--- quilt.orig/compat/getopt.in 2018-10-03 16:05:56.818667040 +0200 ++++ quilt/compat/getopt.in 2018-10-03 16:12:17.624841732 +0200 +@@ -108,15 +108,10 @@ foreach my $word (@words) { + if (scalar(@letters) == 0) { + $need_param = $letter; + } else { +- # short options can have numerical args +- # embedded in the short option list: -UO +- die "unexpected character after option $letter" +- if ($letters[$#letters] !~ /[0-9]/); +- my @digits; +- while (scalar(@letters) && ($letters[$#letters] =~ /[0-9]/)) { +- push @digits, pop @letters; +- } +- push @options, quote_word(join('', reverse @digits)); ++ # short options can have args ++ # embedded in the short option list ++ push @options, quote_word(join('', reverse @letters)); ++ @letters = (); + } + } + } |
