Hey,
Anyone knows how supported is this / when is it going to get switched on by default
As I'm the author of that change I can introduce my thinking here a bit. * There is no intention in my doing to achieve a switch the default /bin/sh away from bash as it is today. * My goal is to assess how *expensive* in work (one time and continuous) a potential switch would be. For that reason I am running my personal work station with /bin/sh being dash, also because I happen to be the dash package maintainer. * I am also testing a full DVD size package set with /bin/sh set to dash and fixing the fallout. so a couple of packages already have and will get over the next few days and weeks submitrequests or pull request from me that fix things. * There is a lot of fallout. I started with 90% failing packages, and now I'm down to just 3%. Still 3% on the size of tumbleweed is still a long way to go. * I encourage anyone to help with this effort, by e.g. using checkbashisms(1) on your script or making things that are not easy to do posix-compatible declare a bash dependency rather than a /bin/sh dependency. * Doing the work doesn't mean that we'll do any change on the distro at all. Don't feed fear uncertainty or doubt (you did not, just my general feeling from a quick glance over all the emails in this mailthread). Hope this clarifies.
