Package: dash Version: 0.5.4-12 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch
There was some recent support on bug-autoconf about why dash is not usually used by autoconf. Since doing so should give some performance improvement, it would be nice to make it possible, especially as dash becomes the default /bin/sh. The only missing required feature is LINENO support, for which there is a patch posted here: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg00059/lineno.diff which applies cleanly to current git. (I have made a similar enquiry upstream, but upstream appears to be rather unresponsive, so getting the patch into Debian would be the next best thing.) -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0.2 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-2-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages dash depends on: ii libc6 2.7-18 GNU C Library: Shared libraries dash recommends no packages. dash suggests no packages. -- debconf information excluded -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
