Subject: "typeset -x" vs. "export" in 3.1.6
Date: Sat, 23 Oct 1999 08:35:09 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <991023083509.ZM21037@candle.brasslantern.com> (raw)

Consider the following two functions:

putenv() { typeset -x $1=$2 }
setenv() { export $1=$2 }

Is it really intentional that they don't have the same behavior?  (They
have the same behavior in every version from 2.5 through 3.0.7, though I
can't say for other stages in the 3.1 chain.)

This is a pretty serious incompatible change.
