This causes me pain on my hosts that don't have >=bash-3.1[0] for |
5 |
/bin/bash. Because I can't install portage with an old bash until I |
6 |
get a new python installed which uses python.eclass which isn't |
7 |
supported with my /bin/bash (quite circular indeed) |
8 |
|

Technically there are workarounds for me...but it is still annoying. |
10 |
So...what do we do? A) Specifically allow >=bash-3.1 features in |
11 |
ebuilds/eclasses. or B) revert the commit because the PMS says[1] that |
12 |
we comply with >bash-3.0 |

Please discuss, thanks. |
