Hello plugin authors,
apparently some shell-scripts depend on bash but use #!/bin/sh. This
causes problems with distros that do not use bash as default shell, see
https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/index.php?18519
Ideally, everyone whose script uses bash specific features would change
the first line to #!/bin/bash. As not everyone is going to read this
mail, and as bash is included in (virtually ?) all desktop distros, I
suggest we proceed the other way around: we switch all #!/bin/sh shell
scripts to #!/bin/bash unless someone knows for sure that a given script
does not use bash specific features.
Comments? Vetoes?
Thanks,
Felix
