Package: dash Version: 0.5.2-5 Severity: normal Hello,
I've been frequently told that using test or [ with -a (for ANDing conditions) is a bashism, and if I am right that http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/mindex.html describes the POSIX standard, POSIX does not require "test" to understand this: http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/utilities/test.html Since dash's description says: ,---- | It is also useful for checking that a script uses only POSIX syntax. `---- I think it should not support this. Especially since it's easy to write it with &&.
