I had this chat with Donnie last night and he pulled the molden ebuild of the top of his head. Attached is a patch to make it posix sh. Infact, most ebuilds themselves would be that trivial. So what's the "nice stuff" that's in use? Got any ebuild examples? > I accept the argument for initscripts, since an embedded system is not > likely to have bash.

The benefit is that our portage tree uses an accepted standardised syntax. bash is just a standard to itself. Thanks Roy -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
