Package: dash
Version: 0.5.2-5
Severity: normal
Error description:
I am coding heavily scripts and localize it with
#!/bin/sh
source gettext.sh
TEXTDOMAIN=foo
TEXTDOMAINDIR=/usr/share/locale
gettext 'Hello Maintainer!'
but since I have tried to make some scripts POSIX compatibel I
was running into trouble. Under "bash" I run "enable -s" to get
all POSIX compatible commands, which include "source".
Using "#!/bin/sh" in my scripts is working fine ON ALL machines
from Woody and its dist-upgrades to Sarge, Etch or Sid since the
symlink from "/bin/sh -> /bin/bash" is preserved.
Installing a Sarge machine from scratch. let ALL of my scripts
fail, since the default in Sarge is "/bin/sh -> /bin/dash".
Sinc "dash" claims to be POSIX compatibel, it does not accept
"source", which mean, I had to change back to use ".".
I do not know, whether this is an error, but it should be checked.
Thanks, Greetings and nice Day
