Not that Ubuntu needs anyone to jump in to defend them but ;-) as an Ubuntu user since day one, I do vividly remember when they thoughtfully decided, nearly 3 years ago, to replace bash with dash. So, it's indeed an Ubuntu thing. I even found the old spec in their wiki about this change: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DashAsBinSh/Spec However I can't see how they could be blamed for this change: 1) Dash executes scripts much faster, that's why they decided to switch to it, mainly to help improve boot times, which really needed it back then. 2) It's POSIX compliant. 3) Dash is only used for executing scripts anyway, bash is conserved for the user shell. > ...and that the script is using something that is specific to bash. So one can hardly blame Ubuntu... -- Vince, bullet proof jacket on. _______________________________________________ AVR-GCC-list mailing list AVR-GCC-list@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/avr-gcc-list
