I think slackbuilds should read #!/bin/bash (and not sh or ash) for
maximum safety and compatility.<br>
It's a 2 minute job for everyone the alter the script to build with
ash (if it would build with ash or any other)<br>
but it can't be the job of every maintainer to test building against
all the different shells.<br>

Yah, I hadn't thought about csh. Definitely agree the rule
should be<br>
/bin/bash, or /bin/sh for scripts that were tested with ash.<br>

Interesting. Never even occurred to me to test performance, I
expect<br>
interpreters to be slow, and at least subconsciously I was
aware that bash<br>
is bloated... but wouldn't have guessed ash would be *that*
much faster.<br>
<br>
Hm. I just now thought I'd try a couple of things in ash, as
an<br>
interactive shell, on slack64 13.1, and the damn thing
segfaulted halfway<br>
through typing the first command. /me runs off to do some more
testing...<br>

<div>I've had the same experience in search of a less bloated
browser than Firefox (really solid, reliable code of
significant complexity is not so easy to come by). They all
make sense, according to their developers, until you try to
use them in real-life situations. </div>
