For AIX, most users really want prefix-bash for performance reasons. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
For others like Solaris, the question is: |
| 15 |
Are we willing to test/debug/fix/upstream-report such bugs ? |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
If we are, then we should keep using /bin/sh. |
| 18 |
If not, then we want to use prefix-bash. |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
One thing to keep in mind: Who else if not prefix-portage has that power |
| 21 |
to test/debug/fix such upstream bugs on that range of platforms ? |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
Using prefix-bash can always be the quick workaround for such bugs, if |
| 24 |
one does not have time to debug immediately - let the user choose! |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
So maybe we want some FEATURE, or simply introduce users on how to set |
| 27 |
CONFIG_SHELL in etc/profile.bashrc, to switch between /bin/sh and |
| 28 |
prefix-bash (defaulting to prefix-bash for aix, to /bin/sh for others) ? |
