Just bear in mind that packages using such scripts will generate bug reports if/when someone needs to use the package on a low resource or embedded system where bash is not available. Yes, you are allowed to use #!/bin/bash but, IMHO, it is unwise to do so unless the package itself depends on bash (pre-depends if in preinst) or is directly related to bash in some other way. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.data-freedom.org/ http://www.nosoftwarepatents.com/ http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/ -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.data-freedom.org/ http://www.nosoftwarepatents.com/ http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/
