Source: dash
Section: shells
Priority: optional
Maintainer: Herbert Xu <herbert@debian.org>
Build-Depends: bison, debhelper (>= 4), pmake
Standards-Version: 3.6.1
Package: dash
Architecture: any
Pre-Depends: ${shlibs:Depends}
Description: The Debian Almquist Shell
"dash" is a POSIX compliant shell that is much smaller than "bash".
We take advantage of that by making it the shell on the installation
root floppy, where space is at a premium.
.
It can be usefully installed as /bin/sh (because it executes scripts
somewhat faster than "bash"), or as the default shell either of root
or of a second user with a userid of 0 (because it depends on fewer
libraries, and is therefore less likely to be affected by an upgrade
problem or a disk failure). It is also useful for checking that a
script uses only POSIX syntax.
.
"bash" is a better shell for most users, since it has some nice
features absent from "dash", and is a required part of the system.

Package: ash
Architecture: all
Pre-Depends: dash
Description: Compatibility package for the Debian Almquist Shell
This package exists so that users of the "ash" package can upgrade to the
"dash" package which replaces the former. It includes the /bin/ash symlink.
You can remove this package if you do not use /bin/ash explicitly.
