Bug#489541: baycomusb: bashism in /bin/sh script

[Raphael Geissert-2]

Package: baycomusb
Severity: important
Version: 0.10-9
User: debian-release@...
Usertags: goal-dash

Hello maintainer,

While performing an archive wide checkbashisms (from the 'devscripts' package)
check I've found your package containing one or more /bin/sh scripts making
use of bashisms.

checkbashisms' output:
> possible bashism in ./usr/share/doc/baycomusb/examples/baycomusb.initscript
> line 28 ('function' is useless):
> function start()
> possible bashism in ./usr/share/doc/baycomusb/examples/baycomusb.initscript
> line 39 ('function' is useless):
> function stop()

Not using bash (or a Debian Policy conformant shell interpreter which does
provide such an extra feature) as /bin/sh is likely to lead to errors or
unexpected behaviours.
Please be aware that although bash is currently the default /bin/sh there's a
release goal for Lenny to make dash the default /bin/sh[1].

If you want more information about dash as /bin/sh, you can read:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-release/2008/01/msg00189.html

For more information please refer to the Debian Policy section 10.4 supporting
this argument at:
http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-files.html#s-scripts

Hints about how to fix bashisms:
Sometimes these bugs are already fixed in Ubuntu, look at the PTS.
If not already fixed you can read:
