I've had it installed since June 2009, I suppose I've had the symlink set for the same length of time. Pretty much all incompatibilities I encountered are fixed now, stuff like openrc introducing bashisms (what fun! I never used the debug option of an init script before or since), or the Audacity build system having #!/bin/sh but using bashisms. I seem to recall that I have one package installed that has this problem and requires changing the symlink temporarily, but I don't remember which. It might have been fixed by now, though. Also, the old mysql-init-scripts-1.2 package requires bash, in case that matters to you. So I don't think you should expect any problems (save for the rare exception), and for me there was a noticeable speedup with the init system (also reported by Flameeyes in his blog). > Thanks in advance! > Florian Philipp HTH -- Marc Joliet -- "People who think they know everything really annoy those of us who know we don't" - Bjarne Stroustrup
