Hello,
I was trying to migrate old shell scripts (running on bash-4.2) to run on bash
5, I am seeing failures due to Compatibility related changes…
One option which I am following is to set BASH_COMPAT to older working version
for those scripts but since final goal is to migrate the script to run on
latest version is there an script or tool available which will identify this
incompatible change before running…
Look at the COMPAT file from the release you're using and see if any of the
changes covered by the compatibility options are relevant.
