Package: devscripts Version: 2.10.18.1 Severity: normal Hello,
I'm not completely sure this is a bug in checkbashisms, please reassign
it in case it's not.
I switched my /bin/sh to dash and so I'm checking that all the local
scripts works with the latter. Since my preferred tool for this scope
is checkbashisms, I was quite surprised when one "clean" script didn't
work with dash, giving the following error:
read: 19: Illegal option -n
Indeed, the POSIX `read` command [1] supports a single option, -r:
The following option is supported:
-r
Do not treat a backslash character in any special way. Consider
each backslash to be part of the input line.
Thx, bye,
Gismo / Luca
