http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=619756 http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=619756#c2 --- Comment #2 from Guido Berhörster <guido+opensuse.org@berhoerster.name> 2010-07-05 08:58:50 UTC --- According to the ash changelog it is based on a port from NetBSD 1.6.1 which is ancient. dash has been developed independently from the BSDs ash variants for quite some time and diverges significantly from the old ash. According to SUSv3/POSIX:2001 function names, just as variable names, are words consisting of "underscores, digits, and alphabetics from the portable character set", although further characters are allowable as an implementation-defined extension. So this is definetly a difference between both shells but not a bug in dash. Now, /etc/profile.d/alias.ash can really be removed altogether since both ash and dash have an alias builtin. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
