Subject: Test: dash 0.5.12-2 (TEST)
Date: Wed, 08 Feb 2023 06:58:41 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230208065841.36954-1-Brian.Inglis@Shaw.ca> (raw)
The following test packages have been uploaded to the Cygwin distribution:
* dash 0.5.12-2
This test release has been rebuilt disabling libc fnmatch and glob as
Cygwin/winsup/newlib do not support locale dependent named character
classes like glibc.
Thanks to Andrey Repin for testing and bringing this to our attention,
and Harald van Dijk on the dash list for pointing out the commit
responsible and the solution.
Please test this Base category shell as extensively as possible
(especially if you are a Cygwin package maintainer) as this
package is used in all installations.
I have it locally installed as my /bin/sh so it is used by most scripts,
cron jobs, and cygport builds, so it has and is getting frequent
exercise with no apparent issues so far.
If no issues are reported this week the package will be upgraded to
current as the previous release breaks existing function that may be
relied on by some scripts.
DASH is a POSIX-compliant implementation of /bin/sh that aims to be
as small as possible. It does this without sacrificing speed where
possible. In fact, it is significantly faster than bash (the GNU
Bourne-Again SHell) for most tasks.
