Changes in KaarPux version 3.5.0¶

Now using dash as default shell¶

KaarPux is now using KaarPux Package: dash as the default (non-interactive) shell instead of KaarPux Package: bash. This reduces the build-time with about 10%.

The transition from bash to dash as the default shell in KaarPux has been significantly aided by:

• ADD: dash: fast posix-compliant shell now used as default (Commit c40d6744)
• ADD: time: add ‘time’ since dash does not provide one build-in (Commit b9a33c78)
