Re: Bug fix for v1.8.1 in the near future?

[Antoine Levy Lambert <an...@gmx.de>]

Hello Matthew,

there is no ETA yet for 1.8.2. I would not mind building 1.8.2 this 
month. This needs to be agreed upon by the ant community.

Regards,

Antoine

Can we use the fact that these special env vars (like =C:=...) have the
equal sign as first char in the keyvalue string ?

So we could split key and value

- after the first equal sign when this equal sign is not the first char
in the keyvalue pair,
- after the second equal sign for the special environment variables

This sounds more natural than replacing the first equal sign with an
exclamation mark.

Can this work or am I missing something ?

There is a the usual bunch of bugzilla issues that could be fixed, but
this is likely to remain a constant.  I'm not aware of any controversial
change in trunk so I don't see any risk with going for a release.

The only thing I'd like to address is the case of environment variables
on Windows where we now (after using System.getEnv()) get some
additional env variables with keys that contain "=" - this may cause
problems further down when we try to parse the variables stored away
earlier.
