I should qualify that in that I don't think adding another package to base is a good idea *unless* there is a significant benefit to doing so. The plan to add dash to base when Arch was using initscripts made sense, it doesn't now that we're using systemd. There's already too much in base IMO.
Doug
By that reasoning, if the intent is to make base leaner, then bash ought to be replaced with dash (mkinitcpio and others notwithstanding). :)
Benjamin
Regardless of what's the default, could there be a cleaner way to use dash as one's /bin/sh without preventing pacman from upgrading bash?
I would add usr/bin/sh to my pacman.conf's NoExtract, then bash would be updated, but the link wouldn't be overwritten, I'm already using it for other reasons:
[rocketmouse@archlinux ~]$ pacman -Ql bash | grep /usr/bin/sh bash /usr/bin/sh [rocketmouse@archlinux ~]$ grep NoExtract /etc/pacman.conf NoExtract = usr/share/xsessions/gnome.desktop usr/share/xsessions/gnome-fallback.desktop usr/share/xsessions/gnome-flashback-compiz.desktop usr/share/xsessions/openbox-kde.desktop
Thank you. I probably should pay more attention to what the ArchWiki says on dash; I just read it there. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJUJmbSAAoJEMqreLELZNG3e3QQAKsXEXJtdRKkDdryWp9N/qaN gI7JgVl5IXhhz6rxes7AdC4uSxJ58otmD4xvORU/jyU9crI/5EdGdosFbcX/LMub x5JxxWcskcFfaL2RLW4LV4AU0Ec7Vllut03TVAYiQDGE0D9bXYntymtBQc6vuvIo xhln8h9c1O8CnwsDdmCX/PqaprEXB4YKDoK2jShlbzs7kKv0fx/1EHC1IEfglu9R tMChMkyFwcIvyH1dVNqVIaIt0TlQsjcbxRxhddmuZX2hriX3fzFQkywdxva8Pm+o 9I1tfz7CJ8HDxPo9WB5iaeE5PXPyUZRh5H/CNCFRmyb88BuYs6ZG+HyKrmrX074d AkKGS9A856ryemFX437NuUmWdnziJqJqkAbN6L06FHzFX+/rPzg5pJQD2ctVUDT3 Zv3DUgVhLQcgtEKxVKsI8YBHOM7A0EVRh62KFAaTzNfFbRNVj6eLnK0GPqQDrcL7 lLBUdUGxCvVQ/3q7hbrLFg1kDqu2sH5ZsJlV53C+JwwSLDx5K6zwDoGQ5fpT3j21 klWYeDWcdh1aKGDr8ufU0Y6jtwOUkIkx+BFCz3+hg9LM3xkEnxpc4vTZ9gppa1fG v5QvNzG7gmguJghEJ0OcGZ6lkHr4IkwXtAA9qSFCxLDsQmbVEplpaLMgTrFb5LZW hDuNeiw0xMpQzchAuknU =Gjur -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
