1 | app-shells/ash is based on a very old netbsd sh and also uses an |
2 | equally old Debian patch. ash currently has no maintainer. This package |
3 | has since become dash upstream, which we do have in portage and is |
4 | maintained by me. |
5 | |
6 | The irony is that ash requires /bin/sh as bash to compile as part of the |
7 | Debian patch uses some bashisms - lol. |
8 | |
9 | As such, I will mask it at the end of next week, pending removal in 30 |
10 | days. |
