Hi, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
bash-4.4/readline-7.0 have been released and are available in Gentoo |
| 4 |
already although they are still being package.masked. |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
This is a call for testers. If you feel brave enough, please give |
| 7 |
bash-4.4 a shot and report all problems you might have with it. |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
Add the following to you package.unmask file/directory: |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
=app-shells/bash-4.4* |
| 12 |
=sys-libs/readline-7.0* |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
and emerge both packages. Once readline-7.0 has been installed you |
| 15 |
most likely need to run |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
emerge -v @preserved-rebuild |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
in order to get all readline reverse deps being built against new |
| 20 |
readline. Reporting those packages in our bug tracker [1] would be |
| 21 |
helpful. |
| 22 |
In case you encounter a real bug in bash or readline please report them |
| 23 |
to our bug tracker [1] as well. |
| 24 |
If you just seem to have successfully installed bash and found no |
| 25 |
problems after a while of testing, I'd like to know about it here on the |
| 26 |
list. This would help me determining when this bash version can be |
| 27 |
removed from package.mask. |
| 28 |
Perhaps we even consider stabilizing bash-4.4 a bit sooner now that |
| 29 |
there's a security bug [2] that requires bash-4.4 for the fix. |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
Thanks in advance. |
