Different bash versions may pose different behaviour on the same |
| 10 |
code. Since bash is heavily used within ebuilds and eclasses, we |
| 11 |
may have to use bash slot different from user installed in future. |
| 12 |
The same need may arises for users with complicated bash scripts |
| 13 |
which may/will not work correctly with other bash versions than a |
| 14 |
specific one. |
