It would be nice to make all of the Monkeysphere scripts POSIX compliant, for portability and light-weightedness. Better POSIX compliance would probably at least be better for compatibility with o{ther,lder} versions of bash. Unfortunately there are quite a few bashism at the moment, so this may not be trivial. For instance: servo:~/cmrg/monkeysphere/git 0$ checkbashisms -f src/monkeysphere-server 2>&1 | wc -l 50 servo:~/cmrg/monkeysphere/git 0$ It looks like the biggest complication for this would be the occasional use of bash arrays.
