Package: dash Version: 0.5.11+git20210903+057cd650a4ed-9 Severity: normal X-Debbugs-Cc: alx.manpa...@gmail.com
Hi, I'd like if dash(1)'s built-in echo(1) would treat -n as a string. POSIX specifies the behavior as implementation-defined, but XSI (see standards(7)) is stricter, and specifies that echo(1) has no options (-n has to be treated as any other string). Considering that dash(1) tends to be minimal, the minimal thing to do is to not implement the option.
