  • That’s rpm, suse Linux 1.0 was never built off the same source or installer that Redhat Linux was.

    Do you have a historical example where any suse distribution used redhat based source? As opensuse as I said only used the rpm package manager, it never used any other components of a redhat derived install.

    Source: I work there and can find zero redhat strings in any old source code from that era, the old greybeards took offense to the implication that suse was ever based on redhat other than using rpm which at the time was about it for packaging.

    All they did was start to use rpm instead of tar for packaging.

    So how many people knew about this shared freckle badge? I apparently am defective as I didn’t get stamped with it at birth, maybe my mom forgot to check that option at the dealership. Maybe this means I’m a reptilian or am a member of the illuminati. Or who knows maybe I sliced it off in my youthful escapades and shenanigans. Oh well, just another club I’m not a member of.

    Key here is the outer [] and interaction of $[], test doesn’t have == by default in standard posix, so no this isn’t posix shell or bourne compatible. Tis but another bashism. I could probably force zsh into a more bourne mode to try it but its definitely not portable bourne shell its bash.

    $ [ $[ $RANDOM % 6 ] == 0 ] && echo rm || echo ok
    zsh: = not found
    $ zsh --version
    zsh 5.9 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu)
    

    == should be -eq for this to be posix/bourne portable, you could use = but -eq is for numeric comparisons so not quite right.
