Date: Thu, 20 Jul 2006 13:31:08 +0000 (UTC)

 Module Name:	pkgsrc
 Committed By:	joerg
 Date:		Thu Jul 20 13:31:08 UTC 2006
 
 Modified Files:
 	pkgsrc/mk/fetch: fetch
 
 Log Message:
 verify_file() returns a non-zero result whenever the distfile does not
 currently exist. This triggers a bug in the Bourne shell of at least
 DragonFly and Irix, when set -e is also active. Remove set -e to avoid
 this. Discussed with jlam@, shown by DragonFly bulk builds, complains on
 DragonFly's user list and PR 34036.
 
 A test case for this shell bug is, which should return 0:
 
 set -e
 
 testf () {
 	test -f /nonexistent || return 1
 	return 0
 }
 
 if testf; then
 	exit 1
 fi
 exit 0
