Bug#464999: kdesdk-scripts: bashism in /bin/sh script
Package: kdesdk-scripts
Severity: important
Version: 3.5.8-1
User: debian-release@lists.debian.org
Usertags: goal-dash
Hello maintainer,
While performing an archive wide checkbashisms (from the 'devscripts' package)
check I've found your package containing several /bin/sh scripts making
use of a bashism.
checkbashisms' output:
> possible bashism in ./usr/bin/create_svnignore line 28 (trap with signal
> numbers): trap "rm svnignore.tmp" 1 2 15
> possible bashism in ./usr/bin/create_svnignore line 52

Not using bash as /bin/sh would lead to errors. Please be aware that although
bash is currently the default /bin/sh there's a release goal for Lenny to
make dash the default /bin/sh[1].
If you want more information about dash as /bin/sh, you can read:
