It seems largely OK in itself (there's a detail of arithmetic expansion that has been problematic with some versions of bash, but that's all I see from a quick scan). The problem is going to be that it sources hook files from other packages and ones locally created by the user, and it's not immediately clear how we can safely transition to POSIX shell especially for the later. -- Colin Watson [[email protected]] -- ubuntu-devel mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel
