[pacman-dev] bash argument passing help

Hi all, This problem has been doing my head in... First a minimal example that reflects how makepkg does things: --one.sh-- #!/bin/bash echo "pass 1:" for arg in "$@"; do echo $arg done echo ARGLIST="$@" ./two.sh $ARGLIST --end one.sh-- --two.sh-- #!/bin/bash echo "pass 2:" for arg in "$@"; do echo $arg done --end two.sh-- then run: ./one.sh -f -h "foo bar" pass 1: -f -h foo bar pass 2: -f -h foo bar Note how in pass two, foo and bar are no longer in the one line. Of course, passing ./two.sh "$@" works, but the argument parsing in makepkg clears that, hence the need to save it to ARGLIST. Any ideas? Allan
