Package: dash Version: 0.5.3-3 Severity: normal This is a bug because the following works in dash and it's not supposed to:
eval $(while [ -n "${1:-}" ]; do
case "$1" in
[EMAIL PROTECTED]) echo remote="$1";;
esac
shift
done)
bash and zsh both fail as they correctly identify the ) to close the
subshell. The right syntax would in this case be to use ([EMAIL PROTECTED]).
In the interest of consistency, I suggest dash also should fail.
