Hello, are bashisms in RPM scriptlets allowed? Up to now I ignorantly assumed that bash is used for RPM scriptlets so that bashisms in RPM scriptlets "just work". But I got https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/260498 By Googling for "bash rpm scriptlet site:opensuse.org" I did not find an authoritative answer. In particular neither https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Packaging_scriptlet_snippets nor https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Specfile_guidelines helps. I found http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-packaging/2010-03/msg00076.html where comments therein seem to indicate that bash is o.k. for shell scripts but to be on the safe side one should explicitly require it via "#!/bin/bash" shebang but as far as I know I cannot have a bash shebang in RPM scriptlets. FYI: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:ScriptletSnippets#Default_Shell reads: "In Fedora, you can assume that the default shell (/bin/sh) is bash. Thus, all scriptlets can safely assume that if they are running in shell code, they are running within bash."
