Yeah meaning the package builders have been using bash as the main 
shell.  That's fine with me, I really don't care I just wanted to know 
that this is acceptable to all rpm builders.  It doesn't matter much at 
all to users.  I'm trying to not make too many unilateral decisions 
while rebuilding sparemint because I don't want to step on any toes.  We 
also need to keep old sparemint around.  Some packages have patches that 
I don't understand to source that doesn't exist today.  These are 
packages I don't use so they aren't particularly important to me (groff 
for instance) but they may be important to someone else.

Thanks,
