that the slightly older dialog(1) requires --separate-output when using the
--checklist widget to force response to produce unquoted values (whereas in
stable/10 --checklist widget without --separate-output will only quote the
checklist labels in the response if the label is multi-word (contains any
whitespace).
Since these enhancements (see revisions 263956 and 264437) were developed
originally on 10, the --separate-output option was omitted. When merged to
stable/9, we (Allan Jude) and I found during testing that the "always-
quoting" of the response was causing things like struct interpolation to
fail (`f_struct device_$dev' would produce `f_struct device_\"da0\"' for
example -- literal quotes inherited from dialog(1) --checklist response).
To see the behavior, execute the following on stable/9 versus stable/10:
dialog --checklist disks: 0 0 0 da0 "" off da1 "" off
Check both items and hit enter. On stable/10, the response is:
da0 da1
On stable/9 the response is:
"da0" "da1"
If you use the --separate-output option, the response is the same for both:
da0
da1
So applying --separate-output on every platform until either one of two
things occurs 1) dialog(1,3) gets synchronized between stable/9, higher or
2) we drop support for stable/9.
MFC after: 3 days
