Debian init script missquotes strings

Description

The Debian init script currently misquotes strings with spaces. The following strings are mainly affected:

  • ROARD_LOCATION
  • ROARD_DESCRIPTION
  • ROARD_CONTACT
  • ROARD_SERIAL
  • ROARD_UIURL

This is because of how the shell evaluates stings. Here in an example to clarify this problem:

$ a="pre 'te st' post"
$ a="pre 'te st' post"

This outputs:

pre
'te
st'
post

While this is expected:

pre
te st
post

The (correct!) usage of eval my help in this case.

  • Milestone RoarAudio major release 1.0 deleted
  • Priority changed from medium to wishlist

Downgrade priority as we are no longer that much interested in debian. Unflag it as critical for 1.0.
Could maybe be upgraded again if any more persons beside the reporter report this problem.
