Sorry. It seems misunderstanding. It would be nice if ln -sf is replaced with ln -svf.

@oech3

Please consider integrating https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/any/checkbashisms/ to check depends.

According to the ArchWiki for makedepends0,

An array of packages that the software depends on to run its test
suite, but are not needed at runtime. Packages in this list follow the
same format as depends. These dependencies are only considered when the
check() function is present and is to be run by makepkg.

This packages doesn't have a check() so this request doesn't make sense.

This is not supporting pacman -R dashbinsh dash.

I ran the following and it succeeded. What error did you experience?

$ sudo pacman -R dashbinsh dash

@Gozenka One minor difference is that since this file is separate, you won't have to deal with pacnew files whenever the default pacman config changes.

Compared to adding NoUpgrade = usr/bin/sh bin/sh in /etc/pacman.conf, what would be different when using the dashbinsh package? As I understand, the effect of both would be to keep the /bin/sh symlink to dash when bash gets updated. Is there a potential case that dashbinsh.hook or the package covers (or ignores), compared to the other option?

Just a question to make sure I am not missing an important case. Thanks!

lsb_release has been fixed upstream and the echo -e problem described below ↓ does not exist anymore

Is the license of this package GPLv2? Or is it v3? I want to make a derivative of this package.

jomority commented on 2021-05-03 16:22 (UTC)

Just as a heads up: This unfortunately breaks lsb_release, because it uses echo -e with #!/bin/sh:

$ lsb_release
-e LSB Version: 1.4

Denton-L commented on 2020-12-07 03:40 (UTC)

Thanks for catching that.
