Hi developers!
Consider using following patch for bash/bash.inc file to get bash-sh
package available (i.e. /bin/sh -> /bin/bash linking executed) in case
2011.03 maintenance is still maintained. It uses update-alternatives call
instead of direct ln -s statements by the original recipe Therefore,
results can now be easily accessed with update-alternatives call.
I don't know how much bash is needed as it seems that also dash shell gets
installed/is available with conventional console image with quite
satisfactory functionality. Somehow it's installed with lower priority than
busybox sh.
Anyhow please find my patch below.
Take care,
Matti
