It is up to the author, but I believe it is a bug to rely on non-POSIX behavior at all. It is certainly a bug to do so without a Big Scary Warning just after the #! that states that the script is non-portable and which features to use. Its' great of Debian to be helping to root out these bugs. (FWIW, I'm not in general a bash hater -- I use it as my login shell -- but I do vigorously object to non-portable scripts. I use NetBSD which has a almost-or-entirely POSIX-compliant sh without most bash extensions.) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
