FWIW, ISTR being told at some point that it's a good idea to write scriptlets in lua because RPM should *always* be able to run lua scriptlets, whereas at least in theory a scriptlet written in shell script could be hit before /bin/sh is installed and thus fail to run...presumably this can only really happen for scripts that run during initial system installation, of course (I don't think it's reasonably possible to remove /bin/sh from a Fedora system once it's there). -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | XMPP: adamw AT happyassassin . net http://www.happyassassin.net _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
