Subject: [ptxdist] /bin/sh link setting incompatibility when bash and dash installed
Date: Wed, 24 Apr 2024 15:49:06 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <3f9ca817-92d7-4e8a-84c5-9756f3197afc@mev.co.uk> (raw)

Hi,

Currently, the Kconfig option for BASH_SH (which causes /usr/bin/sh to 
be linked to bash) is as follows:

config BASH_SH
	bool
	default BUSYBOX = n || BUSYBOX_SH_IS_NONE

However, if DASH_LINK_SH is enabled, that will cause /usr/bin/sh to be 
linked to dash, resulting in a conflict.

I suppose the most robust fix would be to add a prompt to allow BASH_SH 
to be configured manually. I'm not sure if the default should be changed 
to `default (BUSYBOX = n || BUSYBOX_SH_IS_NONE) && DASH_LINK_SH = n`. 
If both dash and bash are installed, it is likely that dash would be 
used as the system shell and bash would be used as the interactive shell.
