Topic

Updated bash Shift_JIS packages that add one enhancement are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

The GNU Bourne-Again Shell (Bash) is a shell or command language interpreter that is compatible with the Bourne shell (sh) and incorporates features from the KornShell interface (ksh) and the C shell (csh). Bash is the default shell for Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Shift JIS (SJIS) is a character encoding for the Japanese language. The bash Shift_JIS packages provide Bash support for the SJIS encoding.

This update adds the following enhancement:

  • To avoid using Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 bash packages that do not contain the latest bug fixes and enhancements, the bash Shift_JIS packages have been upgraded to version 4.1.2 release 33. (BZ#1249503)

Users who require SJIS encoding support for Bash built-in functions are advised to install these updated packages, which add this enhancement.
