./maintainers/scripts/check-by-name.sh: delete broken -I argument#282226
Conversation
Running CI locally is broken becauses the `-I` argument:
- Clobbers $NIX_PATH
- Is wrong for two reasons:
- Has too many `..` elements, relative to the script's location
- Isn't relative to the script's location (as with *.nix files),
since shell scripts and POSIX in general interpret paths
relative to the current working directory, not the canonical
path of argv[0]
- Is inconsistent, since this script has symlinks pointing at it
from different depths in the repository
There is no way to set this flag statically in a way that will work
everywhere. The caller needs to use $NIX_PATH, or the script needs
to take the `-I` value as an argument.
This commit deletes the static `-I` flag.
