Hi, Since shells/bash has been converted to OptionsNG the following new options show up: [x] COLONBREAKSWORDS Colons break words [x] IMPLICITCD Use directory name alone to cd into it both enabled by default. This does not change the previous behaviour of the port, when those were hidden in the Makefile. This confused me for a sec, since the option descriptions make it sound like the behaviour of bash is actually changed quite dramatically, even though those are added as features which then have to be activated through configuration. I think it would be better to mark those explicitly as features, e.g.: [x] COLONBREAKSWORDS Support shopt "Colons break words" [x] IMPLICITCD Support shopt "Use directory name alone to cd into it" I assume there are better ways to make this clear. It might even make sense to have a basic distinction on the ports system level - options that provide additional features vs. options that change the (default) behavior of the port. Cheers, Michael -- Michael Gmelin
