Or more likely, many people likely have pre-existing scripts wrongly written as #!/bin/sh but which use bash-ism rather than portable POSIX-specified shell (if it is portable, then bash vs. dash executing the script shouldn't matter - but as Debian found out when they switched to dash, there are a lot of non-portable scripts). On the other hand, Debian has already fixed much of the pre-packaged badness out there and pushed fixes upstream where feasible, so these days it's not as hairy to switch as when Debian first did it. But part of me is still reluctant to make the switch as long as Fedora still favors bash over dash.
I concur; we simply don't have the manpower to handle this ourselves. -- Yaakov -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
