Summary	0004553: config var-expansion does not always work
Description	Expansion of variables defined in the [PATH] section does not always work. It works in the [arm] section in GLOBAL_POSTFIX: [arm] GLOBAL_POSTFIX = -l $GNUNET_CACHE_HOME/{}-%F.%T-[].log But not in other service sections when used in OPTIONS: [social] OPTIONS = -L DEBUG -l $GNUNET_CACHE_HOME/{}-%F.%T-[].log https://gnunet.org/bugs/view.php?id=4542#c10785 documents the bug of not having $GNUNET_CACHE_HOME available in other parts of the configuration.

Christian Grothoff 2016-06-01 22:30 manager ~0010844	$-expansion is NOT done for all options, the code has to explicitly use GNUNET_CONFIGURATION_get_value_filename if $-expansion is desired. So this is more specifically an ARM bug where we can agree that maybe for those options $-expansion makes sense. Should be fixed for OPTIONS in SVN 37229.
