Alternative download pkg_setup.sh on Linux is broken because PATH change

[PHPDave]

Recent commit breaks alternative download specified in http://yips.idevcloud.com/wiki/index.php/PASE/OpenSourceBeta#step0

Should either 1) remove alternative download in Wiki or 2) check to see if the script is running on IBMi before setting the PATH and LIBPATH or 3) create a different script for downloading files via an intermediate machine.

Proposed solution

system_OS400=$(uname | grep -c OS400)

# set PATH and LIBPATH to avoid user random acts
if (($system_OS400==1))
then
    PATH=/QOpenSys/usr/bin:/QOpenSys/usr/sbin
    LIBPATH=/QOpenSys/usr/lib
    export PATH
    export LIBPATH
fi

Need more info concerning what broke (i.e. shell error listing) so I don't have to go hunting. Before adding PATH and LIBPATH it was breaking when installing git because the install process was introducing new paths that broke grep (which is used in chroot_setup.sh).

Nevermind, I didn't read your post full (i.e. proposed solution). Solution looks good. Please fork, make change, and do pull request. If you don't know how to do that I can teach you.

Ok i tried it two different ways... forked it myself and then did an automated fork... Let me know if i did anything wrong.

It appears you did a pull request to your own repository and it needs to be a pull request to the original ibmichroot repo so I can merge it into the ibmichroot project.

Ok I figured it out! https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/BITBUCKET/Fork+a+Repo,+Compare+Code,+and+Create+a+Pull+Request

That worked and your changes are now merged into the base repo. COOL!

Please continue to test/kick-tires. The success of projects like this are very much dependent on many community members participating.
