Hello, I am the author of an implementation of POSIX bc with all GNU extensions (https://github.com/gavinhoward/bc).
Some highlights: * It can be used in Linux kernel builds. * It is zero-dependency and builds without modification on any POSIX-compliant platform. * It has history without needing libreadline or libeditline. * It comes with full man pages. * It comes with some extra math operators, extra math functions, and extensions. * It includes a full dc (except for the dangerous and unnecessary "!" command) that uses a symlink to use the same binary (like busybox and toybox). * Its license is more permissive. Would there be any interest in replacing the GNU bc with my bc in Debian? I would be willing to do the work to package it. Gavin Howard
