[Buildroot] [PATCH] support/scripts/pkg-stats: add tilde '~' expansion for pathes

[Heiko Thiery]

The script arguments 'nvd-path', 'json' and 'html' currently does not
allow to have '~' in path for user home directory. With this patch
this '~' is expanded to the real user home directory.

Isn't ~ supposed to be expanded by your shell before calling pkg-stats
? Here, pkg-stats --html ~/toto.html works perfectly fine without your
patch.

Best regards,

Indeed I didn't thought about that and you're right the shell should
expand that. But I saw that it was not.

I rechecked that and found out that there is a difference between
setting the argument of the option with or without a '='.

Without '=' the '~' is expanded by the shell (pkg-stats --html ~/out.html).
Wit '=' the '~' is not expanded by the shell (pkg-stats --html=~/out.html).

Applied to master with an improved commit log to explain the difference
between --html=~/foo and --html ~/foo.

Thanks!
