Description David Yeske 2001-08-16 08:00:06 UTC
proper request for port addition

1.  This should never have been a port
2.  It causes bash2 to core on my 4.3-STABLE box randomly
3.  Since bash is a likely contender for any Linux converts, the last
    thing we need is for them to grep through the ports INDEX file, install
    this, destabilize their FreeBSD box, and generate bad PR
4.  (portmgr hat on) it was not added in an appropriate manner.

Should the original submitter wish to re-evaluate points 1-4 above, then
we'll consider re-adding it.  For now, it's toast.

Fix: 

update to new version
How-To-Repeat: install ports/shells/hmmah and "source dot.bash_prompt" from bash

State Changed
From-To: open->feedback

Well, I don't see any new shar/tar file attached to the PR, so adding 
back the port in its current state is not an option, since it does 
core-out bash under -STABLE. 

As and when you have a new shar/tarball, please feel free to resubmit it.
