This is the last call for comments for the review of debconf templates for dash. The reviewed templates will be sent on Monday, November 05, 2007 to the package maintainer as a bug report and a mail will be sent to this list with "[BTS]" as a subject tag. --
Template: dash/sh Type: boolean Default: false _Description: Install dash as /bin/sh? The default /bin/sh shell on Debian and Debian-based systems is bash. . However, since the distribution policy requires all shell scripts using /bin/sh to be POSIX compliant, any shell that conforms to POSIX, such as dash, can serve as /bin/sh. You may wish to do this because dash is faster and smaller than bash.

Description: POSIX-compliant shell
The Debian Almquist Shell (dash) is a lightweight POSIX-compliant shell
derived from ash.
.
It can be usefully installed as /bin/sh (because it executes scripts
faster than bash), or as the default shell for the superuser. It
depends on fewer libraries than bash, and is therefore less likely to
be affected by an upgrade problem or a disk failure. It is also
useful for checking the POSIX compliance of scripts.
