There is something called bugs. The busybox implementation is artificially limited. Also, it uses the busybox common code, which makes its codebase rather large. The smallest somewhat self-contained shell is probably the dash binary from klibc, but it only exists on linux-any. That being said, there’s another compact, portable shell with good security properties around… … but anyway, if bash leaves Essential, I can just replace dash with mksh locally anyway… goal achieved just the same. (Modulo the APT bug that makes it not want to install my replacement package.) bye, //mirabilos -- 15:41⎜<Lo-lan-do:#fusionforge> Somebody write a testsuite for helloworld :-) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
