./
shells/bash,
The GNU Bourne Again Shell
Branch: CURRENT,
Version: 5.3.15,
Package name: bash-5.3.15,
Maintainer: pkgsrc-usersBash 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.
