As I tried to explain, I stand behind this as maintainer interfacing gatekeepers enforcing coding and package standards at both Debian and CRAN.
I have hard-earned experience in dealing with these folks and standards since, respectively, the mid 1990s and early 2000s. And not-infrequently did I have to dumb-down shell scripts to make them work with the minimal /bin/sh implementations. More so at Debian after /bin/sh (from ash) became the default shell, but IIRC also at CRAN. And I plainly don't like those. I simply prefer bash and somewhat richer shells. So bash it is. The installed bash package is still smaller than RcppArmadillo. As I said, that configure script will go away at some point too, so I'd really prefer if we could drop the issue now. So after having explained this in -- the configure shell script itself in two paragraphs -- a lengthy thread in the PR #15 which I rejected -- this email thread may I ask that we table this?
