2009-02-24Initial import of bash3 -- latest version of bash-3 branch.wiz7-0/+188
Since two people already asked for it, here's the package, but maintainer is set to pkgsrc-users. Bash 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. This package contains the outdated version 3 of bash.
