111712 - Changing path to Perl in all Bugzilla files

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Bugzilla :: Documentation, defect, P2)

Description

[simona]

/docs/html/stepbystep.html#AEN692 gives this to update the path to perl

perl -pi -e 's@#!/usr/bonsaitools/bin/perl@#!/usr/bin/perl@' *cgi *pl Bug.pm

For this to work for me it needed two modifications:

* escape the ! i.e. 

perl -pi -e 's@#\!/usr/bonsaitools/bin/perl@#\!/usr/bin/perl@' *cgi *pl Bug.pm

* also need to add processmail and syncshadowdb to the filelist

Dumb question:

Shouldn't this be added to checksetup.pl ?

I.e, detection of the location of perl, and fixing the shebangs ?

I am planning this for newinstall which should be in 2.18.

Barnboy changed his email address and opened a new account instead of having the
address changed on his existing one.  Reassigning all docs bugs to his new account.
