Hello maintainer, While performing an archive wide checkbashisms (from the 'devscripts' package) check I've found your package containing one or more /bin/sh scripts making use of bashisms. checkbashisms' output: > possible bashism in ./usr/share/apps/konversation/scripts/sysinfo line 19 > (should be 'b = a'): > if [ "$KDE_FULL_SESSION" == "true" ]; then > possible bashism in ./usr/share/apps/konversation/scripts/sysinfo line 20 > (should be 'b = a'): > if [ "$KDE_SESSION_VERSION" == 4 ]; then > possible bashism in ./usr/share/apps/konversation/scripts/sysinfo line 78 > (should be 'b = a'): > if [ "x$PORT" == "x" ] ; then > possible bashism in ./usr/share/apps/konversation/scripts/sysinfo line 81 > (should be 'b = a'): > if [ "x$TARGET" == "x" ] ; then Not using bash (or a Debian Policy conformant shell interpreter which does provide such an extra feature) as /bin/sh is likely to lead to errors or unexpected behaviours. Please be aware that although bash is currently the default /bin/sh there's a release goal for Lenny to make dash the default /bin/sh[1]. If you want more information about dash as /bin/sh, you can read: http://lists.debian.org/debian-release/2008/01/msg00189.html For more information please refer to the Debian Policy section 10.4 supporting this argument at: http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-files.html#s-scripts Hints about how to fix bashisms: Sometimes these bugs are already fixed in Ubuntu, look at the PTS. If not already fixed you can read: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DashAsBinSh [1]http://release.debian.org/lenny/goals.txt Thank you, -- Atomo64 - Raphael Please avoid sending me Word, PowerPoint or Excel attachments.
