If I understand [1] correctly, coverage of BASH_COMPAT is incomplete: It only changes incompatible behaviour back to the old version, but it won't disallow using new features. Therefore I'd make it a recommendation at most. Something along the lines of: "The interpreter is assumed to be GNU bash, version as listed in table xyz, or any later version. If possible, the package manager should set the shell's compatibility level to the exact version specified." > https://bugs.gentoo.org/431340#c20 > local maj=4 min=2 > if ([[ ${BASH_VERSINFO[0]} -lt ${maj} ]] || > [[ ${BASH_VERSINFO[0]} -eq ${maj} && ${BASH_VERSINFO[1]} -lt ${min ]]) > ; then Why the subshell here? > die ">=bash-${maj}.${min} is required" > fi > BASH_COMPAT="${maj}.${min}" Ulrich [1] https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bash/2015-10/msg00106.html
