It would be nice if we could have a little :3.2 slot of bash that would be installed as 'bash-3.2' and would allow easy ebuild/eclass testing for compliance.
what if we did it for all versions older than stable ? it's why i leave them in the tree. we change all of their SLOTs to $PV (sans the _p##), and they install as bash-$SLOT. i'm not sure about the /etc/bash/ stuff ... i'm inclined to have it only install the /bin/bash-$SLOT program and that's it. WDTY ?
I don't have a strong opinion on the other versions. 3.2 is explicitly required by the PMS, I don't know if any other version is somehow useful to our devs. And I think we can ignore /etc and other stuff. Maybe just install .info and manpages renamed as a reference for what's in that bash.
should be all set now in the tree; thanks for the report!
