About the same level of effort?
Linux: apt-get install bash
OS X: Install xcode, install xcodetools (CLI), download bash source code from a mostly-undocumented URL (need to search through apple support forums), download and manually apply patch from GNU. Build bash, manually copy build output into /bin.
Yeah, totally the same level of effort.
- k-mcgrady 12y agoYou can install the Xcode CL tools without installing Xcode. The two were separated a couple years ago.
- fleitz 12y agoDid you mean to say 'brew upgrade bash'?
- sophacles 12y agoThat doesn't change the version of bash pointed at by /bin/sh which is a hardlink to the OSX supplied bash. Even if you previously relinked /bin/sh to a homebrew bash, it won't change versions by upgrading the installed bash.
- bashinator 12y agoI suppose if you're being brave, you can nuke the built-in bash and symlink it back to brew's copy.
