This is irrelevant, as it's only about the extension, and only about scripts on the path. My proposal has no extension, and isn't on the path, either. > [2] http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-files.html#s-scripts This also doesn't talk about restricting the #! interpreter to binaries. The only restriction it makes is that csh scripts should be avoided. (And that's a should, not a must) Besides, dpatch has been using #! /bin/sh $PATH for more than 7 years now. Please, pretty please, find a policy violation in that, and we can suddenly break a thousand packages in one swift swing of an arm! -- |8] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
