I'm constantly seeing system scripts starting with #!/bin/sh which tells BASH to run in POSIX conformance mode, yet occasionally, more or less randomly, I'll see "BASHism's" in the script.
Why don't you open a ticket (or one per script) at the bugzilla?
Why would you suggest such a huge waste of time?
He didn't - notice the 'or'.
Berhard Voelker was able to run one command on his system that pointed to 400 scripts with problems. You really think it would be the best use of anyone's resources to open up a bug for each of those manually when the problem is a systemic one that is found with a script in 1 step?
s/systemic/habitual/ methinks - I can only speak for myself, but I habitually also use /bin/sh even if I might be using bash-only features in a script. Is this perhaps something we can test for during build time? I doubt if we can expect much testing on systems which default to a non-bash shell, so it would be better to test during packaging.
It almost seems like you don't care -- and if that's the case why would you want the bug reports filed in the first place?
