Too late, Eric's already made this change. And we really don't need to be so very paranoid with the test suite. As far as I know, the only platform we've gotten reports from regarding bashisms is solaris. Of course, I know there are debian folks who use non-bash shells as sh, but they apparently don't also run the darcs test suite. -- David Roundy Department of Physics Oregon State University _______________________________________________ darcs-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osuosl.org/mailman/listinfo/darcs-users
