Subject: bug#20202: EMACS=t Joy and Happiness
Date: Thu, 24 May 2018 15:03:56 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <6443412a-5803-d9c0-1ef3-ece7f49c43e1__48371.613052632$1527199389$gmane$org@cs.ucla.edu> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <87tvqw4w8s.fsf@russet.org.uk>

Bash 4.4 came out only in September 2016, and it's too soon to assume 
it. For example, my students regularly use Emacs on a server running 
RHEL 7, which ships Bash 4.2.46, and as I understand it, this is the 
most recent RHEL available.

How about this idea: At Emacs build time, we check whether Bash is 4.4 
or later, and if so we use a term.el that assumes bash 4.4 or later. 
Otherwise, we use a term.el that interrogates the shell dynamically for 
whether it is shell and if so what its version number is, the first time 
that Emacs runs a process under a shell.
