From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.2) Gecko/20010628 Description of problem: If the environment variables PILOTRATE and PILOTPORT are set using bash, the pilot-xfer program ignores these and simply synchronizes using the default device or the device specified on the command line, and it uses the default rate of 9600 baud Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Run in X so that multiple terminals can be opened. 2.Type PILOTRATE=115200 at the bash prompt in a terminal window. 3.Type PILOTPORT=/dev/ttySx where x is the number of the serial port to be used. 4.Verify that these variables have been set correctly using, for example, "echo $PILOTRATE" 5.Run "pilot-xfer -b pilot-link", for example. It will say "Port: /dev/pilot" 6.Run stty -F /dev/ttySx, and you will see that the baud rate has been set to 9600, even if you set it to a different value earlier. Actual Results: Synchonization is pretty darn slow, and not necessarily on the port that you want it to be. Expected Results: The synchonization should take place at the port and baud rate specified by the environment variables. Additional info: Also tried installing the latest RawHide package, didn't help the issue.
It's fixed in pilot-link-0.9.5-9. You will find it in next rawhide release.
