portage and unix shell

agreif · Posted: Thu Jul 03, 2003 7:50 am Post subject: portage and unix shell

does it matter which unix shell is running when I use portage? in all descriptions examples are given for bash.

Are there any experiences whether there are problems if root runs on zsh and emerges ebuild?

I dont know much about ebuilds, but usually in a script, you have to specify the shell which runs the script, either in the first line, or on the commandline when executing it. I cant imagine that this would be a problem with portage anyhow. Maybe you just start a zsh from your normal bash and try it out.

IMHO it shouldn't matter. The reason for the examples being in bash is that it's the most commen shell.
