few problems\/differences i’ve noticed after upgrade of debian.
\n<\/p>\n
by default new debian symlinks \/bin\/sh to dash shell instead of bash as in lenny. in turn some of my [lousy] scripts broke. few examples:<\/p>\n
\r\n#!\/bin\/sh\r\ncat > b <<<"\r\na\r\nb\r\nc"\r\n<\/pre>\nwhen \/bin\/sh points to bash just works, when it’s dash:<\/p>\n
\r\n\/a: 2: Syntax error: redirection unexpected\r\n<\/pre>\nother example:<\/p>\n
\r\n#!\/bin\/sh\r\ncounter='a'\r\nif [ $counter == "tsearch" ] || [ $counter == "dsearch" ] ; then\r\n echo 'x'\r\nfi\r\n<\/pre>\nwill work fine with bash, but under dash will result with:<\/p>\n
\r\n[: 6: a: unexpected operator\r\n[: 6: a: unexpected operator\r\n<\/pre>\nsolution? write better code or change shebang to point to \/bin\/bash<\/p>\n
list of other problems that might occur<\/a><\/p>\n
suhosin.get.max_value_length defaults to 512<\/h3>\n
which means that any values passed by GET and longer than 512 chars will not be passed to $_REQUEST and $_GET vars.
\nit seems that in lenny there was no such limitation at all.<\/p>\n
