it may bear some thinking about with respect to /bin/sh versus /bin/bash but it's not high priority, unless you can come up with equivalent portable functionality for us. as for static shell, we provide app-shells/sash The rc system tends to use a lot of bash-specific functions. Many other tools -- including Portage and ebuilds -- also require bash and make use of bash internals not available in a POSIX /bin/sh. I highly doubt it will ever be possible to install Gentoo without bash; it would require reworking just about everything. Obviously, you can change the default shell for users to whatever you like. |
