Subject: build-path: make invoke_callout_binary() honour $PATH as last resort
X-Git-Tag: v258-rc1~924
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=2caa462504af4f29a2df6805639b026d901099cd;p=thirdparty%2Fsystemd.git

build-path: make invoke_callout_binary() honour $PATH as last resort

If we cannot find the callout we need in the build dir let's look for it
in $PATH as last resort.

This makes invoke_callout_binary() usable for all binaries we install
into $PATH (as opposed to /usr/lib/systemd), but has no effect
on callout binaries specified with full path.

This is useful, since we soon want to invoke journalctl as a callout.
