Hi all,
I use bash instead of the default csh shell that is part of FreeBSD world.
I am revising my in-house installation manual for FreeBSD 5.3, and it just came my attention that there is (actually has been I guess) bash version 3 available as a port.
But FreeBSD appears to want to use 2.05b as the default.
Does anybody know of any good reason why I should stick to 2.05b? I would like to use the latest stable version, but I don't want to go to version 3 if there are any issues that might bite me in the butt or if it will disrupt any other FreeBSD convention/issue that I don't know about.
Looking at the the gnu bash site, I don't see any reason *not* to go to version 3, but I tend to let any FreeBSD considerations trump others when coming up with installation standards.
Thanks for any info,
cheers, DW
shells/bash (in ports) is now 3.0. Maybe there just isn't a (pre-compiled) package yet.
I use 3.0 on my 5.3 system, and I am still using 2.05b on my 4.9 system. I haven't actually noticed any differences.
