Re: [PATCH] latest ash has broken 'echo' command



Just an FYI.

debian-policy very clearly recommends the use of echo -n in a number
of places.

If someone wants to change the world (I'm most concerned about the linux
kernel source, debian policy and existing debian scripts, but I expect
that there are other issues as well), I have no objection to a later
change to debian policy which removes all references to echo -n.

But for the moment, I'm recommending that debian policy be changed to
require /bin/sh support echo -n.
