Re: [Libguestfs] [PATCH supermin v4] Supermin 5 rewrite.

On Tue, Feb 25, Richard W.M. Jones wrote: Commit breaks expectations during pkg build. Before commit 29eb7d6a0 ("configure: Use AC_PATH_PROG for package manager binaries.") it was possible to pass an executable via environment like "env ZYPPER=zypper ./configure $args". The result is that the string "zypper" is called by supermin, even if it was not installed at build time. This reduced the dependency chain. Now its required to pass the absolute path, like "env ZYPPER=/usr/bin/zypper ./configure $args". The result is that at runtime the user is forced to use the built-in string "/usr/bin/zypper". Looks like over there the concept of PATH got lost, not just in supermin. What is the reason for this change, what does it fix? The comment added in this commit does not really explains the why, just the what. Olaf
