hive script when invoked through a link

[Remus Rusanu <re...@microsoft.com>]

I tried making /usr/bin/hive a link to /usr/lib/hive-0.14/bin/hive . But the launch fails because:

bin=`dirname "$0"`
bin=`cd "$bin"; pwd`

. "$bin"/hive-config.sh

So I used a readlink -f first, to locate the proper script home, and then it works fine.
My question is: is this kind of problem something we track and open a JIRA about, or is this kind of issue left as something for the packagers/distributors to worry about and fix (given that the distributions vary wildly from the pure trunk build package artifact)?

Thanks,
~Remus

HIVE-6553 it is then
I'm not sure $BASH_SOURCE makes any diff, is the readlink that is critical.

This should be fixed on trunk. I believe we want to use the BAS_SOURCE environment variable.
