bash-4.4, published Sept. 15, 2016

#1 Post by musher0 »

Hello all.

I couldn't find a thread on the forum for the latest bash, released last
September, so here it is.

Compiled on Puduan-6 with

Code: Select all

./configure --prefix=/usr --docdir=/usr/share/doc/bash-4.4 --with-included-gettext
Untested on other Puppies. Please let me know if it works on yours.

The package is in three parts:
Docs -- https://my.pcloud.com/publink/show?code ... pmxzihi9ek
NLS -- https://my.pcloud.com/publink/show?code ... ndjkDwz9gV
Exec -- https://my.pcloud.com/publink/show?code ... VdP8AAX4BV

If your Puppy is short on space, you only need to install the "Exec" pet.

As you may have noticed from the configure line (the "gettext" part), this
bash will display messages in your language if it finds its *.mo file.

If you want this feature, download and un-compress the NLS pet, and
install the directory for your language at the corresponding place in your
Puppy. It's easy, it will be the mirror of where it is in the archive, i.e.
/usr/share/locale/Your_Language/LC_MESSAGES/bash.mo. Sorry in
advance for the large NLS file download, but I couldn't see myself creating
a separate pet for each of the 37 languages bash has been translated in...

I've been testing it for a few hours now, and everything runs as it should
with this new bash version.

Its NEWS file is attached. It contains the list of the +/- 50 improvements
in this 4.4 version, and of older changes.

Enjoy!
