On the contrary, it's because what /bin/sh points to isn't standard. Defaulting the behavior to Bourne syntax encourages people to specify what they're actual target shell is. > This seems quite reasonable, however Debian is not such > a system. I could "just select the default version of sh my system uses > in my .vimrc", That should be "just select the version of sh my script is targetting". Simply because you're authoring the script on Debian doesn't mean you're targetting Debian's default /bin/sh. I see no reason to differ from upstream in this. -- James GPG Key: 1024D/61326D40 2003-09-02 James Vega <james...@debian.org>
