Subject: dash: Patch to support LINENO

Date: Sun, 09 Aug 2009 17:43:57 +0100

Package: dash
Version: 0.5.4-12
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch


There was some recent support on bug-autoconf about why dash is not
usually used by autoconf. Since doing so should give some performance
improvement, it would be nice to make it possible, especially as dash
becomes the default /bin/sh.

The only missing required feature is LINENO support, for which there
is a patch posted here:

http://www.mail-archive.com/dash@vger.kernel.org/msg00059/lineno.diff

which applies cleanly to current git.

(I have made a similar enquiry upstream, but upstream appears to be
rather unresponsive, so getting the patch into Debian would be the
next best thing.)

   * debian/diff/0003-VAR-Disable-LINENO-support.diff: remove
     (closes: #540685, reopens: #582952).
   * debian/dash.preinst:
     - rewrite in C (closes: #604873).
     - if dash's copy of /bin/sh is not already diverted, divert it
       on behalf of bash.  This ensures extracting a new version of
       dash does not overwrite /bin/sh and handling of that symlink
       is left to postinst.  Likewise for .../man/man1/sh.1.gz.
     - if /bin/sh is not executable (for example because it is a
       symlink to a nonexistent file), replace it with a symlink to
       dash.  Likewise for /usr/share/man/man1/sh.1.gz.
   * debian/dash.postinst:
     - remove workaround for dpkg bug #160848 ("dpkg-divert --remove"
       silently enabling --rename).  The dash package already depends
       on dpkg 1.15.0 or later, which has the fix.
     - respect local diversions.
     - clarify.
