Though zsh has an option to emulate sh, it may still not be completely compatible. Upstream fixes incompatibilities when it is easy. But some incompatibilities may remain. If sh needs special multibyte (UTF-8) support for some features in UTF-8 locales, there may be a problem with zsh, as in sh emulation mode, multibyte support is completely disabled, and enabling it yields incompatibilities (that's why http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=659932 is still there). -- Vincent Lefèvre <vinc...@vinc17.net> - Web: <http://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <http://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / AriC project (LIP, ENS-Lyon) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
