Many scripts/ebuilds/etc. use some pretty bash-specific features, so |
| 10 |
bash is always going to be a requirement. Is the issue that they do not |
| 11 |
want bash at all? It seems bash (not sh) is a requirement about on par |
| 12 |
with python. If they want to use a different shell, just emerge it, and |
| 13 |
change the shell in /etc/passwd. |
