I've been using dash as my /bin/sh for a while now. I've had it installed since |
| 13 |
June 2009, I suppose I've had the symlink set for the same length of time. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
Pretty much all incompatibilities I encountered are fixed now, stuff like |
| 16 |
openrc introducing bashisms (what fun! I never used the debug option of an init |
| 17 |
script before or since), or the Audacity build system having #!/bin/sh but |
| 18 |
using bashisms. I seem to recall that I have one package installed that has this |
| 19 |
problem and requires changing the symlink temporarily, but I don't remember |
| 20 |
which. It might have been fixed by now, though. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
Also, the old mysql-init-scripts-1.2 package requires bash, in case that matters |
| 23 |
to you. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
So I don't think you should expect any problems (save for the rare exception), |
| 26 |
and for me there was a noticeable speedup with the init system (also reported |
| 27 |
by Flameeyes in his blog). |
