Space character in packagemaker_path attribute in macports.conf breaks mpkg and mdmg

[jaakko.pero@…]

For example, if there's a line like this:

packagemaker_path /opt/Auxiliary\ Tools/PackageMaker.app 

in macports.conf, then for example the execution of port -d mpkg zlib simply stops after these lines:

--->  Creating pkg for zlib-1.2.8
DEBUG: Can't run pkg on this port without elevated privileges. Escalating privileges back to root.
DEBUG: euid changed to: 0. egid changed to: 0.

WORKAROUND:

If the directory is renamed and the line on macports.conf is changed to:

packagemaker_path /opt/AuxiliaryTools/PackageMaker.app

Then the execution of continues as expected:

--->  Creating pkg for zlib-1.2.8
DEBUG: Can't run pkg on this port without elevated privileges. Escalating privileges back to root.
DEBUG: euid changed to: 0. egid changed to: 0.
DEBUG: Calling /opt/AuxiliaryTools/PackageMaker.app/Contents/MacOS/PackageMaker for zlib pkg

I'm not surprised; spaces in paths are not a good idea for the command line world and much software does not support it.

Use shellescape on packagemaker path
