This is actually a good idea. Please submit this directly to AOSP through their Gerrit system. >If you have a question, comment, bug report, or suggestion: > Please visit <http://android.stackexchange.com/>. Not bad, but maybe they should tag those questions [mksh] on SE and I should subscribe that tag there. Also, a link to the mksh docs may be appropriate. >This would help new mksh users realize how many things they truly can do >in an Android shell.

While I “maintain” mksh in AOSP too (every once in a while, when I can build it), I’m also just submitting things there, so please submit yours, add enh and me as reviewers, and I can +1 it. bye, //mirabilos PS: Thanks for the effort! -- Yay for having to rewrite other people's Bash scripts because bash suddenly stopped supporting the bash extensions they make use of -- Tonnerre Lombard in #nosec -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1366451 Title: "mksh -v" should display mksh's version number, plus the attached chunk of text, onscreen To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mksh/+bug/1366451/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
