./shells/bash, The GNU Bourne Again Shell

[ CVSweb ] [ Homepage ] [ RSS ] [ Required by ] [ Add to tracker ]

Branch: CURRENT, Version: 5.3.9, Package name: bash-5.3.9, Maintainer: pkgsrc-users

Bash is an sh-compatible shell that incorporates useful features from
the Korn shell (ksh) and C shell (csh). It is intended to conform to
the IEEE POSIX P1003.2/ISO 9945.2 Shell and Tools standard.

It offers functional improvements over sh for both programming and
interactive use; these include command line editing, unlimited size
command history, job control, shell functions and aliases, indexed
arrays of unlimited size, and integer arithmetic in any base from two
to sixty-four. In addition, most sh scripts can be run by Bash without
modification.

Log message: Update bash to 5.3.3 Three bug-fix patches added: 5.3.1:	Fix "wait -n job/pid ..." to not ignore the list of	jobs (or pids) given to it and instead simply wait	for any random exited process. 5.3.2:	Avoid use of shm_open() because of too many impl	differences 5.3.3:	Fix an internal quoting issue with expansions in	the arithmetic command ("(( ))") and other arithmetic	contexts (mostly affecting array subscript evaluation).

Log message: bash: Enable SSH_SOURCE_BASHRC Align pkgsrc bash behaviour with various distributions (RHEL-based Linux distros, Debian-based Linux distros, NixOS/nixpkgs) to improve user experience and mitigate any possible observed element of surprise. Some rationale: - Many users expect that when they execute a command remotely (e.g., ssh host "my_custom_script.sh" or ssh host "alias_name"), that \ command should run in an environment that is as similar as possible to their interactive login environment. - This behavior ensures compatibility with scripts, tools, and user habits that have come to rely on ~/.bashrc being sourced for remote SSH execution. The following is an example for dividing ~/.bashrc into commands for all shells and those only for interactive shells alias where='type -a' # If not running interactively, don't do anything else case "${-}" in *i*) ;; *) return;; esac shopt -s checkwinsize shopt -s globstar shopt -s histappend HISTCONTROL=ignoreboth HISTFILESIZE=2000 HISTSIZE=1000 HISTTIMEFORMAT='%F %H:%M ' Increment PKGREVISION for behaviour change.
