I always prefered to use backticks instead. Sometimes I get confused when I see $() and mentally read it as a variable. Having $() colorized by the syntax highlighting also isn't that attractive.. I'm not "against" using $(), I just don't like it that much. > At the same time I think we should use '. foo' instead of 'source foo', > where the former is more portable (1). Ah, we're *requiring* Bash to interpret the scripts, so I don't think portability is an issue. 'source' improves readability a lot. 'source' support was even merged into Busybox' ash shell to conform to legacy scripts. I strongly like to keep using 'source'. > Maybe have some document regarding recommended coding standards (if that > doesn't exist and I've missed it). I think the only documentation we have in this sense is TemplateScript in the Scripts package. Feeding the wiki might be a good thing. -- Lucas powered by /dev/dsp _______________________________________________ gobolinux-devel mailing list gobolinux-devel@lists.gobolinux.org http://lists.gobolinux.org/mailman/listinfo/gobolinux-devel
