Hi Fredrik. Sorry but I'm a ksh/mksh user since some years ago, so I'm not in love with bash ;-) My only concern is with a program/library, that using auto*/libtool, relies on some bashism. That is the reason to be more careful :-) One could say that bash is the standard shell in Linux, just like for some people vim is the standard editor.

Hi Juergen.
Thanks for the explanation and your tests. The only thing that I can ask at this moment is, how often are *those* packages recompiled? and it wouldn't make more sense to force the use of dash with *just* the packages that take more time/resources?
Well since we are a source-based distribution, every time you upgrade something. As Juergen said, if you have bashism in your scripts - shebang it to #!/bin/bash!
I have to say I'm surprised by the short memory people seems to have. A year ago everyone wanted to get rid of bash due to a few security holes and now everyone seems to love it again :-)
In any case I'm going to be more careful with my own local ports :-)
Good practice anyways :)
