@Unus Nemo
Thanks.
Mine came packed with latest it seem. NOT

bash --version

sudo dnf copr enable c3d/bash

Did you compiled your version of Bash? Is only way with pgp keys ok.

You laid it out, I know

" This works because by default, /usr/local/bin is before /usr/bin on the system path. This is by design. So that local installs by your admin (which is probably you) will override system defaults" which I'm not so found about.

Yes as I said bash 5.2.37 is the default for Fedora. You would have to be on Rawhide Fedora to get Release Candidates (RC) which I do not recommend. Yes, I compiled my bash straight from source from the GNU GIT Server. They sign everything and it is up to you to check the signature or not. Personally I use their savannah git service to get the source from the current maintainers. Though you can download the zip file with sig file if you prefer. We both know I am not nearly as paranoid as you are so I have no issues using their git server. Please note though that any version of bash on github is not the official version. It is just a version someone is playing with. Most GNU projects today use Savannah GNU git, which belongs to GNU.

which I'm not so found about.

You should be, it was designed that way for a reason. Often you need to maintain the outdated system version so the system will stay stable. While you provide a local copy for your users to use. They can of course if they want to use the system resource instead. Most would not want to. Keep in mind you have to have root access to install to /usr/local/bin just like you would to install to /usr/bin. This system has worked quite well for over 50 years. There is no issue with it.

With that said no you would not want to have a program overshadow a system program if you did not know about it. Which is why it is recommended that you not put your Present Working Directory on the system path and if you do, to add it last, never to the front of the path.

55 years?? SheBang is designed to be dangerous..
And I know was for XOS from someone.
Thank you dear friend.

@plan-A

I correct that to 50 years. It originated in Unix. Neither env nor shebang was available in the original version of Unix 55 years ago (hence the correction). And the recommended way for the system path to be implemented is not dangerous at all, and neither is shebang.

You should, unless you happen to be maintaining system scripts, always use the #!/usr/bin/env bash form and never use the fully qualified path of the software. Let env find it on the path. This solves many issues. Such as not all software is installed the same place on all systems. Though where it is installed is on the system path.

@Unus Nemo ok
while XOS auto sets it on env one should not use it even HomeBrew.

@plan-A

You are confusing issues with software executing from the Present Working Directory with installed software. It is not dangerous and never has been. Homebrew uses the strategy for a reason, it was designed to work that way. Homebrew did not implement this, it is the way Unix and Unix like systems work. And it works quite well. Even without your approval 😉. You just see everything as a danger.

If you need help compiling bash just read the file named INSTALL in the source directory.

No reason to be sorry, I just thought you were implying you had to be born in America to a citizen. If that is not what you meant then I apologize for the misunderstanding.

@yianiris

Eric Arthur Blair AKA: George Orwell (pen name) is widely known for his novella Animal Farm and his dystopian novel 1984. He is a very popular author. Shame you have never heard of him. A lot of his work is mandatory reading in many high school and college literature courses in America at least.

note: The quote in this meme is from his novel 1984

A lot of people seems to feel
very on edge these days. More aggressive and more angry.

And you know what, I totally get it.
I feel this way too.

Everything is on fire and we feel powerless. It sucks.

But if we eat each other, there will be nobody left to fight the oppressors.

While we fight each other,
while we drain each other,
they win.

Do not let authoritarian oppressors win by shooting at your allies.

Even if they're not allies you agree with all the time, even if they're temporarily allies for an urgent cause, focus your energy on the real danger. Do not drain allies' supplies, even if they are imperfect allies. That's what your enemy wants you to do.

We must support each other in these difficult times, if we want to even have a tiny chance to create peace, acceptance, and inclusion for the future 💚

@yianiris @Acta Populi

Biden was not a choice he was an alternative. Which was the only reason he won. I had predicted, given his history, that he would lose against Trump. I was wrong. Personally I would vote for a drunk dog with mange problems over Trump. Though unfortunately (for me) others believe he is competent.

in reply to Unus Nemo

What is sad is that people believe in democracy while from Clinton onwards it doesn't really make much of a difference who wins, bankers and accountants dictate policy inwards, oil and defense industries dictate policy outwards.

Do you think if the furthest to the left congresswoman/man senator was elected they could change anything that really mattered? Change in policy automatically has a cost somewhere and those someones are much better represented

We could stop spending trillions on unnecessary military 'superiority', *or* we could save a few million by firing all the people who keep our nation at the forefront of research.

But hey, at least ICE is getting a $72,000,000,000 bump in funding...
