I'd rather not. Thoughout its history, zsh has had lots of issues
originating from limitations, bugs and incompatibilities.
hm... Interesting, I and my colleague use zsh and we don't have problem
with it.
Can you give some examples?
Well, check autoconf's and automake's history of ca. the last 5 years.
There have been a quite some patches been added to work around zsh issues ;)
One case I am currently aware about is this:
# cat script
SUBDIRS="a b c"
list=${SUBDIRS}; for subdir in $list; do
echo $subdir
done
# /bin/bash script
a
b
c
Same result for dash and ksh, but for zsh:
# /bin/zsh script
a b c
I don't know about the current situation, but e.g., the configure
scripts I just posted the timings of for for bash and dash fail with zsh.
Which script do you mean?
I was referring to the files I used in
https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/devel/2014-October/202891.html
AFAICT so far, it fails because of behavioral difference between zsh and
bash/ksh/dash outlined above (the "script" example).
