Yes, such as Debian Policy 10.4, usability for /bin/sh, and my strong belief that ash is even worse and ought to be replaced with mksh (well, lksh -o posix) globally. That being said, several Debian package maintainers' scripts are so bad one has to use lksh -o sh -o posix as /bin/sh there... But globally means globally, so other OSes should see the light and switch to the glory that is mksh as well. Also, consistency (between sh and the login shell, i.e. mksh, and the scripting shell, i.e. mksh). bye, //mirabilos -- 22:59⎜<Vutral> glaub ich termkit is kompliziert | glabe nicht das man damit schneller arbeitet | reizüberflutung │ wie windows │ alles evil zuviel bilder │ wie ein spiel | 23:00⎜<Vutral> die meisten raffen auch nicht mehr von windows | 23:01⎜<Vutral> bilderbücher sind ja auch nich wirklich verbreitet als erwachsenen literatur ‣ who needs GUIs thus?
