Package: bash Version: 3.1-5 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch
The REDIRECTION section in the bash help should mention that the exec builtin can make redirections take effect for the current shell. (e.g. 'exec &> /tmp/output.log' to redirect all stdout and stderr for the remainder of the script to /tmp/output.log) The attached file can go into debian/patches, and should be added to the list of patches in debian/rules (I added it after man-net-redirections). -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (1000, 'unstable'), (750, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.17-1-686 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Versions of packages bash depends on: ii base-files 3.1.13 Debian base system miscellaneous f ii debianutils 2.16.2 Miscellaneous utilities specific t ii libc6 2.3.6-15 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libncurses5 5.5-2 Shared libraries for terminal hand bash recommends no packages. -- no debconf information
