#45205: dash update -------------------------+-------------------------------- Reporter: rjvbertin@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: update | Status: new Priority: High | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: Keywords: haspatch | Port: dash -------------------------+-------------------------------- With the recent ShellShock issue there has been a suggestion that it could be wise to replace /bin/sh with /bin/dash instead of even with the latest bash version. This update to dash portfile brings the port to the latest release (and corrects the livecheck feature). Not to make it lose too much functionality I have it built --with-libedit, linking to the system libedit instead of the (obsolete) one in MacPorts. I did *not* test this (yet) against libedit.3.dylib . It could be an interesting idea to extend this (and the bash) ports further with a helper script that replaces the system sh (bash) with the port's version. I thought about adding a variant that does this, but realised I'd better leave that to people with a better knowledge of what features MacPorts provide that would detect when an Apple update had installed a new sh (bash) version. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/45205> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
