The "support" which has been removed is limited to the build system. If you include Script.make, the directory must contain $(PGM).py or you get an error. People are free to script GRASS commands in whatever language they choose, but shell scripts don't belong in the GRASS 7 repository, so there's no need for the build system to provide any support for them. If something doesn't work unless you install /bin/sh and a dozen other Unix utilities, that's a critical bug. Ditto for anything which doesn't work if $GISBASE or GISDBASE contain spaces. -- Glynn Clements <gl...@gclements.plus.com> _______________________________________________ grass-dev mailing list grass-dev@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/grass-dev
