Test: dash 0.5.12 (TEST)
The following test packages have been uploaded to the Cygwin distribution: * dash 0.5.12 DASH is a POSIX-compliant implementation of /bin/sh that aims to be as small as possible. It does this without sacrificing speed where possible. In fact, it is significantly faster than bash (the GNU Bourne-Again SHell) for most tasks. Please test this Base category shell as extensively as possible (especially if you are a Cygwin package maintainer) as this package is used in all installations. I have it locally installed as my /bin/sh so it is used by most scripts, cron jobs, and cygport builds, so it has and is getting frequent exercise with no apparent issues so far. If no issues are reported within a couple of weeks the package will be upgraded to current.
