Description Dave Stewart 2012-08-14 14:07:35 UTC
Currently to select a new default shell, it's a little non-obvious how to do it.

Please add some way to select a default shell.

Likely there could be other configuration options we should add, but adding a default shell is pretty important.

Can you please give more information about this shell? Where, on which page it should appear?
Thank you
Comment 2 Dave Stewart 2012-09-03 22:00:17 UTC
Currently there is no place in Hob to change the default shell.

I'm told that the way you change your default shell is to add a recipe for a different shell and it becomes the default, sort of by magic.

I'd like us to make the choice explicit in Hob. I don't know the proper place to set it ... Belen should be consulted.

It seems to me this could be added to the settings dialog, probably in the 'Build environment' tab, but I would need to learn a bit about the matter. 

This bug looks to me like a new feature: any chance we could push it to 1.4?

Thanks!

Belen

I think this might be something we could do by adding the shell option to one of the settings dialogs. Not for this release, though: moving it to 1.5.

At this point, work will take place on toaster, not hob, so marking as won't fix.
