CONTRIBUTING.md

Contributing

• use the development branch

• Keep the script POSIX compliant as defined here

  • Exceptions may be made if there is a backup POSIX function defined, for example, the shuf utility is used, and there is a backup shuf function defined if the user does not have shuf installed.
  • If something is not POSIX it may only be implemented if it is available on many systems (Linux, and BSD), and it's impractical to implement in POSIX shell.
  • For example: date -d is used.

• Feel free to give yourself a file in the credits folder, and add yourself to the table in the README :)

Shells

A non-comprehensive list of shells to test the script with

• bash
• dash
• ksh
• bsd-ksh (on the aur this is the package oksh)
• busybox sh
• any other posix shells
• zsh*

*Technically zsh does not have to work because it's not posix compliant, but zsh should work at least some what.
