Since there never has been a shells/bash port (only shells/bash1) we can do a repocopy bash3 -> bash. When you think repocopying bash3 -> bash is a good idea, just do it. I'm fine with deleting bash1, but I think we should keep bash2 around a little longer, unfortunately the bugs in the .0 release seem not to be purely hypothetical. Anyway, this should mostly affect complex bash scripts, not interactive usage. We we do the repocopy we should fix the LATEST_LINKs of both ports. -Oliver
