This summer I worked with dash (debian ash) from which bb-ash has been
derived. You can find a patch collection here:
http://www.roberto.foglietta.name/pub/embedded/
which transform dash-0.5.3 into bash-like-shell adding these:
- typeset, declare syntax (patch done)
- $[] (patch done)
- function keyword (patch done)
- return <negative integer> (patch done)
- test == for strings (patch done)
not yed done
- export -f, actually I do not plan to develop
- let as builtin command, it exist in bb-ash
If you like to port the same features to bb-ash I will test and use it
on my embedded systems.
Cheers,
