[PATCH 1/1] e2fsprogs/populate-extfs.sh: fix a problem on dash

[Robert Yang]

The dash can't handle the or [[ in parameter expansion, for example:

A=/usr/bin/[[
B=[[
C="${A%$B}"

The C should be "/usr/bin" in common, but it will be /usr/bin/[[ on
dash, use dirname to fix it.

NOTE:
There are 3 lines about parameter expansion, only fix the
DIR="${DIR%$TGT}" since the other 2 works will and are very useful in
this case.

I'm afraid I had to revert this as it caused other build failures:

http://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/main/builders/build-appliance/builds/18/steps/BuildImages_1/logs/stdio

Can you look into why that happened and resent the patch please?

Cheers,

Richard

Good to know. Interesting! Noting that escaping the [ would work,
but not applicable in this case.

Would ${A%/*}/ work?

-                DIR="${DIR%$TGT}"
+                DIR="${DIR%/*}/"

It also has the advantage that it doesn't cause a fork (afaict,
the loop is being executed for every file in a rootfs directory
structure, that could cause a lot of forks).

(Disclaimer: I haven't tested this)
