[1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/Eschwartz/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/dash-sh/
Note that a better way of doing this is through pacman hooks: ``` [eschwartz@arch /tmp/bash-nosh]$ cat /etc/pacman.d/hooks/sh-is-dash.hook [Trigger] Type = Package Operation = Install Operation = Upgrade Target = bash [Action] Description = Re-pointing /bin/sh symlink to dash... When = PostTransaction Exec = /usr/bin/ln -sf dash /usr/bin/sh Depends = dash ``` This allows me to use the repo packages, rather than maintaining forked copies, and at the same time ensures sh will always use dash, assuming dash is available. -- Eli Schwartz
Ah, I see, could you include this into the wiki article on dash? This is a much cleaner solution than modifying pacman.conf like it suggests. On Thu, Feb 2, 2017, 1:39 AM Eli Schwartz, <eschwartz93@gmail.com> wrote: On 02/02/2017 01:32 AM, notify@aur.archlinux.org wrote:

Sure, I never bothered to check the Wiki but it appears it still uses NoExtract/NoUpgrade which has no way to depend on dash's continued existence, and doesn't express the change that was made. I guess no one updated it after pacman 5 came out with support for hooks. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php?title=Dash&diff=467498&oldid=457840 -- Eli Schwartz
