From 3ba5391839b34823e97574cba2952d732c2729e0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Allan McRae Date: Fri, 10 Feb 2012 16:26:37 +1000 Subject: Allow specifying shell for running scriptlets Some distributions insist on using bash specific commands in their install scripts under the assumption that "sh" is a symlink to bash. This can causes issues if (e.g.) their users what to change sh to point at another shell, such as dash, that does not support these features. Add a configure option to explicitly set the shell being used to run install scripts.
