I've tried it some time ago, didn't get too far as I couldn't sort of be arsed too much ;-) But now that I see someone else's tried removing the linuxisms off of pacman's files, I might give it a go, time permits.
See, here's the thing. I know this is true of myself, and I don't speak for Dan. But most of "us" linux users don't really know what IS and IS NOT a "linuxism".
So comments like Xavier showed us... "cut the bashism crap" and the like couldn't be more useless.
The best thing that can be done is actually pointing out SPECIFIC "linuxisms" so we: a) Know what is and is not a linuxism b) Don't repeat it again c) Can fix the code.
I said the LAST three lines were interesting in my opinion, not the first three :) I agree the first three are useless, but I thought the last three did exactly what you just said, pointing out specific linuxisms. I apologize for not having reformulated that report in a nicer way, I didn't know it would be taken so seriously, so I apologize for that.
