The "p" in posh stands for "Policy," not POSIX. See the package description. I think it would be really cool to do some sort of continuous integration testing on a system with posh as /bin/sh. We don't have a particularly great story around integration testing right now, but even with what we've got it might still be interesting. Of course, that relies on maintainers caring, which is often the hard part. -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
