I understand that there seems to be some reluctance to updating the "shells/bash" port until after the release of FreeBSD-9.0 at some future date. I am not sure I understand the reasoning behind this logic. If there is a problem with the newer version of Bash, currently 4.1.11 in ports with version 4.2.x currently available and the soon to be released version of 4.3 on the horizon; wouldn't it make more sense to find out if there is in fact a problem with this shell version prior to the release of FreeBSD-9.0?
Bash is a commonly used shell and I cannot see what the goal of abstaining from updating it now is? It would certainly seem that if waiting for FBSD-9.0's release and subsequently finding out that the newer version of Bash fails would compound fixing the problem. -- Jerry ♔ Disclaimer: off-list followups get on-list replies or get ignored.
