For busybox-static, I'd love to have the "hush" applet available. It's a
more feature-complete shell, including features such as brace expansion.
Please consider enabling CONFIG_HUSH and CONFIG_HUSH_BASH_COMPAT in
busybox-static.
Hi Josh!
Myself I haven't used hush in busybox but I always used ash. If we're to
enable hush, I think we should remove ash and make hush the only shell.
And do that in regular deb config too, - there's no good reason to keep
them different.
But I wonder what implications we might have there, if we switch from
ash to hush. How compatible the two shells are? I dunno. I think it
needs to be verified at least..
busybox's ash is very limited indeed.
Thanks,
