Description:   Opened: 2008-08-15 16:49 0000 
postfix-2.5.3-r1 does not start up properly when /bin/sh is a symlink to dash.
The reasons are two bashisms in the init-file files/postfix.rc6.2.5 which are
trivial to avoid. I attach a patch.

I'm sorry, but we only fully support app-shells/bash. Your patch breaks bash,
so if I were you, I would change my shell to bash for when starting services,
or I would patch my init scripts on my own.

------- Comment #3 From Panagiotis Christopoulos 2008-08-16 04:16:06 0000 ------- 
Ah, I reconsider, as I'm seeing the "non-POSIX" thing. I will let the proper
team to decide.

One of the purposes of the baselayout-2/openrc change is this posix
compatibility with several advantages (faster booting by using the smaller
dash, simpler transfer to BSD).
Changing the /bin/sh symlink essentially only influences booting (and scripts
which are compatible enough, like ./configure, which explicitly use #!/bin/sh
instead of #!/bin/bash).
Just a few init-scripts still need to be fixed (most have bugreports already).

------- Comment #5 From Raphael Marichez 2008-08-18 14:13:51 0000 ------- 
Martin is right, the init script file is expected to conform the standards. I
commited the change in the CVS, but no revision bump will be made for this
minor issue.
