In most cases it shouldn't be needed. The common construct
I've seen in BB extension scripts goes like
if test "$BBTMP" = ""
then
. $BBHOME/etc/bbdef.sh
fi
and since BBTMP (and the other BB* environment variables)
A quick random check on Deadcat, I see just this:
if test ! "${BBTMP}" # GET DEFINITIONS IF NEEDED
then
# echo "*** LOADING BBDEF ***"
. ${BBHOME}/etc/bbdef.sh # INCLUDE STANDARD DEFINITIONS
Fi
Always loading "bbdef.sh" seems to be the norm, perhaps I just pick the
wrong scripts. The empty bbdef.sh would do the trick too though. Either way
is good for me, I know how to fix it, just was thinking of future users,
some bb extensions just don't "work" out of the box as I am sure you
originally intended.
