Hi,
As discussed recently, please find attached a patch (against lintian and
devscripts SVN) to checks/scripts that adds the bashism tests that
devscripts's checkbashisms performs but lintian does not.
The only test I've not included is that for "echo -n". That test is
optional in checkbashisms as Policy requires that it be supported.
Regards,
Adam
