If you expected bash, that is an invalid assumption. <http://projects.archlinux.org/git/?p=pacman.git;a=blob;f=lib/libalpm/trans.c;h=bcd0707d567befa000b161dc08b2051c2dd82111;hb=2f55733be35e7ec4188ddab17a92ed67faa7210d#l577> We should make that more clear in the PKGBUILD.5 manpage. -Dan _______________________________________________ arch mailing list [email protected] http://archlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/arch
