Hi all; as you may have seen Bering-uClibc has updated ash to dash v 0.5.1 in latest beta version.
Since that has been discussed in the last days a few notes for you. dash out of the box has no command line history - a patch is in our cvs and we are hopeful it will make it into the upstream version (it looks like the maintainer just missed the file). dash out of the box is strictly POSIX compliant with the echo command, some of the applications on a LEAF floppy not - like ticker, sh-httpd, but other applications like ipsec as well. Arne wrote a patch, also in cvs, but is rejected by upstream maintainer. /usr/sbin/lrcfg.conf.packs needs a "#!/bin/sh" at the start of a file; otherwise you can't access package configuration. We also found that dash does not like the "POSIXness" construction - one reason, we replaced it with either bb applets or standalone scripts. Maybe I've missed some other changes we've made in the past..., but you'll see some preparations are needed to get dash replacing ash. A note about bb ash, which is compelling for it's tab completion - we also looked into that one - but it slooow, mostly due to the reason it starts a new process each time test ([) or echo are called. YMMV kp ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email sponsored by Black Hat Briefings & Training.
