Though not affected myself, I tend to agree with Martin as well. What about an option in the installer "Preferred shell" ? Make bash default, but offer ( and install, when changed ) other shells?
My current main problem with the proposal is that it expects all contributors / members of the review team to go and learn something new
My problem is that you all seem to get waaay ahead of yourself. We are nowhere near the point where one could even think of adding a "preferred shell" dialog box.
Nor does the review team need to learn anything, as it is not a policy at this time to be sh conformant and the what-ifs were already brought up last month.
So your adding an update-alternatives option that allows people to break there systems? I don't think that's any better.
it is not a requirement to utilize update-alternatives in order to break one's system. if one does so in that manner, he has chosen do do so and you will not stop him by taking away that option.
If openSUSE is going to offer this as a supported option ie using update-alternatives rather then manually changing the symlink then we need to make sure it works, its all good for me and you to know it might make a mess of our systems but a general user who is not reading this list might see that the option has been added and make the reasonable presumption that it is supported and works which could lead to them breaking there system which is unacceptable. -- Simon Lees (Simotek) http://simotek.net Emergency Update Team keybase.io/simotek SUSE Linux Adelaide Australia, UTC+10:30 GPG Fingerprint: 5B87 DB9D 88DC F606 E489 CEC5 0922 C246 02F0 014B -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
