Hello everyone, I would like to propose the following Release Goals for squeeze:
* Dash as default /bin/sh A lot of work was done on this RG already for lenny but, sadly, it didn't make it. Further improvements to checkbashisms as well as support for checking for bashisms in all /bin/sh and debian/rules in lintian should follow. The previous advocate was Petter Reinholdtsen, this time I'm offering myself to drive this RG and make it real. * Bashisms-free archive Similar to the above and thus included in this same email, the propposed goal is free all /bin/sh from bashisms (bashism in this context: a shell feature that is not required to be supported by Debian Policy), not just the issues needed to support dash as /bin/sh. The pourpose of this goal is to let people use whatever shell interpreter that complies with policy as /bin/sh without any breakage other than those that result from bugs in the interpreter itself. [-release BCCed as requested] Cheers, -- Raphael Geissert - Debian Maintainer www.debian.org - get.debian.net -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
