i don't understand why it isn't just merged ? this isn't
something that is
really all that complicated, in many cases the "portable" is pretty much the
same, and most distros are going to be applying this anyways ...
for example the math change:
-[eu_version=$[($eu_version + 999) / 1000]]
+eu_version=$(( (eu_version + 999) / 1000 ))
same # of forks, and same number of paren/brackets ...
In this particular case, it's not really a problem. As for everything else
that's in the portable branch, it's just not going to happen and it doesn't
matter whether you or I think that makes sense.
Thanks,
Roland
