It's nice if dash boots faster. But changing /bin/sh to dash is not a tolerable solution. The init scripts then should simply say "#!/bin/dash" and be done instead of imposing a vastly inferior shell onto everyone.
/bin/sh is not the same as /bin/bash (and not necessarily a SUSv3 compliant shell although there seems to be a convergence towards that), if you need features of your superior shell you can simply request it by putting !#/bin/$superior_shell at the very top of it. That even gives you the added value of portability across many other (though not all) OSs. It is not about imposing a shell on you but on the contrary giving you choice as dash, bash, and ksh93 all support the SUSv3. -- Guido Berhoerster -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help@opensuse.org
