For busybox-static, I'd love to have the "hush" applet available. It's a more feature-complete shell, including features such as brace expansion. Please consider enabling CONFIG_HUSH and CONFIG_HUSH_BASH_COMPAT in busybox-static. Thank you.
Control: tag -1 + moreinfo Hi Josh! Myself I haven't used hush in busybox but I always used ash. If we're to enable hush, I think we should remove ash and make hush the only shell. And do that in regular deb config too, - there's no good reason to keep them different. But I wonder what implications we might have there, if we switch from ash to hush. How compatible the two shells are? I dunno. I think it needs to be verified at least.. busybox's ash is very limited indeed. Thanks, /mjt
