Debian uses dash, not bash, as /bin/sh. As both 'configure' and 'Makefile' depend on '/bin/sh', then yes, we care about POSIX compliance. Only in scripts that explicitly require /bin/bash, such as much of the scripts under tests/, can we get away with bashisms. -- Eric Blake eblake redhat com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
