Happy New Year! Pff! Bash is the most used login shell for Linux for good reasons. Sometimes I like it faster, hence I like to use dash, sometimes I like portability to at least FreeBSD, if so I care about this, too. Linux isn't POSIX, period! Let alone that Unix System V-style initialization has nothing in common with systemd based Linux distros, something that is as important regarding portability, as POSIX is. Btw. I didn't receive the complete thread, while I received all other threads from other and this list completely, or maybe I received the complete thread, if so, somebody likely has broken the thread and the subject, too. When and where did this thread start? I only can see the three mails I received and no additional mail here: https://lists.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-general/2020-January/date.html I can _not_ find a subject "Adding a "posix" metapackage" in the December, November, October or September archive, too. Actually I wasn't interested to reply at all, I'm just curious about information related to POSIX vs Linux, IOW I'm interested in learning by reading, but it's a broken thread. Could you please provide a pointer to the start of this thread? Regards, Ralf
