I'm not sure it needs to be bash, I'm open to the idea of it changing, and I'm even willing to help with the insane amount of fallout that could be caused if we do decide to change it ;)
You seem to be arguing for dash: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DashAsBinSh. But that article also painfully demonstrates all the stuff people need to avoid if they want to write compliant code.
Yeah, but if major distributions like Debian and Ubuntu have already taken that step in 2006 and we've got reviewers like Jan who've already been generally espousing good practice, maybe this is not beyond our ability to do. Extrapolating Jans '7 out of 120' package sample, I'd estimate we have probably around 700 packages out of the 11000 in the distribution that could need attention. We fixed ~350 when we flattened /var into a single btrfs subvolume, this exercise seems only twice as bad ;) I remain to be convinced if it's really worth the effort, so I'd like to encourage others to weigh in with their opinions, but I'm certainly open to the idea. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
