Description Matt McCutchen 2010-05-06 01:35:53 UTC
Description of problem:
The environment variables set by the "debugmode" package are not exported (at least in bash), so the only processes that receive the benefits of debug mode are interactive shells.  The variables should be exported.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
debugmode-9.02.2-1.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Make sure the "debugmode" package is installed and enabled.
2. env | grep -e MALLOC_ -e G_SLICE

Actual results:
No output.

Expected results (example):
MALLOC_CHECK_=1
G_SLICE=debug-blocks
MALLOC_PERTURB_=141

export environment variables in debugmode

/etc/profile.d/debug.sh: export all non-comment lines instead of sourcing /etc/sysconfig/debug

Comment 2 Matt McCutchen 2010-05-07 15:53:45 UTC
Gah, more sed mess.  Maybe the design should be fixed first (I entered bug 590063).

Comment 3 Bill Nottingham 2010-05-13 20:50:45 UTC
Cheesier-but-more-efficient fix committed as http://git.fedorahosted.org/git/?p=initscripts.git;a=commitdiff;h=deb0df0124fbe9b645755a0a44c7cb8044f24719
(debug.csh was set up to handle this already.)

Will be in 9.13-1, backported to F-12 and F-13 branches for future updates.
