A) Teach busybox to understand that the name "bash" can redirect to "hush". B) Teach hush to support the extended API. > Busybox ash handles most shell scripts just fine. Ash is a mess that doesn't .config down to small sizes well. Hush scales and Denys has a good understanding of its implementation, so that's the one he's chosen to extend to become the full-fledged busybox bash replacement. (That's what he said at CELF, anyway.0 > Please don't force > us to install the slow bloaty bash to bootstrap a busybox system. > Please. I agree this is an important design goal. The way to fix it is to extend hush. (Alas, I haven't got time to work on it this week. I'm trying to get a 1.0 release out of my build project, and working an unrelated day job. However, I hope to be able to help out here eventually.) Rob -- Latency is more important than throughput.
