Thanks for keeping me in the Cc ☺ (but I guess I earned that from a PR)
Marco d'Itri dixit:
>Bad idea
Give the user the tools to shoot himself into the foot. Besides, dash
is already using the debconf dance, so why discriminate other shells
that are fine to do it according to policy?
>bash (the standard
Which standard? It's not even POSIX conformant because of its extensions.
Most operating systems don't come with GNU bash either.
>which works with everything
set -A foo
find . -name \*mp3 |&
while read name; do foo[${#foo[*]}]=$name; done
mpg123 -z "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
I see two things in this (here splitted) one-liner I use often that don't
work with bash, which is expected, as they are features of the Korn shell.
Please don't just say GNU/Linux/ELF/ILP32/i386 is everything; open minds.

I believe no one can invent an algorithm. One just happens to hit upon it
when God enlightens him. Or only God invents algorithms, we merely copy them.
If you don't believe in God, just consider God as Nature if you won't deny
existence. -- Coywolf Qi Hunt
