[gentoo-dev] reminder: you cannot use bash-4.x features (e.g. ${var^^}) in EAPI=[0-5]

i randomly stumbled across an ebuild that was using ^^ to make a variable uppercase. this is new to bash-4.0 and thus invalid for EAPI=[0-5]. only the fresh EAPI=6 permits it since we bumped the min ver to bash-4.2. -mike signature.asc Description: Digital signature

sorry, i meant char classification here (LC_CTYPE), not collation. i've been dealing with sorting bugs lately ;). -mike signature.asc Description: Digital signature
