When producing code to output shell alias definition, escaping of
special characters was missing until now in renderSettings procedure.
Code to bake shell alias has been fixed to work in a similar way than
for environment variable with full range of shell special characters
escaped.
Translation of $n/$* in !!:n/!* on csh-like shells is maintained for
compatibility with v3. To improve this compatibility, a \ prior to $
disables translation on csh (like with v3), then after \$ is translated
in $ for all shells.
Adapt testsuite to use value escaping over expected output result for
shell alias (like done for environment variable). Adapt consequently all
shell alias tests in 50-cmds/07*.
Add test in 50-cmds/076-alias-sub to demonstrate escaping of complex
shell alias. Use modulefile from this new test within install testsuite
to garanty shell alias produce is effective on shell sessions. Check
availability of tools used by this alias (grep, tr, awk) to determine if
install test can be launched on current system.
Fixes#165
fly, as it were. It's a powerful mechanism for dynamically changing
environment variables, aliases, X11 resources, etc.
It uses an embedded Tcl intrepretor, with a few extensions. Therefore,
it has a well defined language syntax.
Version 3.1 is GPL, and includes many improvements over the 3.0beta.
