Hi all,
I use bash instead of the default csh shell that is part of FreeBSD world.
I am revising my in-house installation manual for FreeBSD 5.3, and it just came my attention that there is (actually has been I guess) bash version 3 available as a port.
But FreeBSD appears to want to use 2.05b as the default.
FreeBSD uses whatever version of bash you tell it to (none are used
"by default"). bash 1.x, 2.x and 3.x are available in the ports tree.
If you install from port, then yes, all three are available and you have to choose. But up until now, we have always installed bash (and emacs) as "additional packages" during the initial CD installation, and it was always version 2.05 that ended up being installed.
I'm changing our procedures so that we have "cleaner" installations, and not installing bash or emacs during the install anymore, but rather as the first ports we install after a our intial cvsup, in an effort to get rid of dependency conflicts (primarly expat) that need special instructions. That's when I discovered that there was a version 3 of bash available.
