#2315: Dash-0.5.3
-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------
Reporter: Ag.Hatzim | Owner: [email protected]
Type: enhancement | Status: new
Priority: normal | Milestone: 6.3
Component: BOOK | Version: SVN
Severity: normal | Keywords: dash
-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------
This is a ticket to record the recent activity (1) around Dash.
Dash was included in the book (revision 6667) with the intention to
replace Ash, which is no longer under development ( this will be a
separate ticket).
Dash, which stands for 'Debian's Ash', is maintained by Herbert Xu from
Debian, is a standard POSIX shell. It can be used for debugging standard
POSIX syntax/commands or as a default shell for small systems.
Instructions.
We placed the binary (--bindir=/bin) into the root filesystem.
For FHS compliance we used (--mandir=/usr/share/man).
We used LC_ALL=C make, for the different behavior of sort command (which
is being used during the build), in a locale other than the standard C
locale.
Example.
{{{
echo -e ".\n:" |LC_ALL=el_GR.UTF-8 sort
:
.
echo -e ".\n:" |LC_ALL=C sort
.
:
Binary behavior:
Result without the fix.
$ : ${FOO=foo}
dash: :: not found
Expected result, if FOO wasn't set
$ echo $FOO
foo
}}}
See (2) for more information.
Dan submitted a patch about the issue upstream.
Note:
There will a new release, with this fix and all the patches from the
debian unstable.
Until then, a patch is pending to be applied in the book.
