1. do not think yum is everywhere, make package upgrade extensible
by some subclasses (apt-get, pkg_add...)
Right.
2. usernames are not same everywhere
postgres is not everywhere
Right.
3. do not make absolute symlinks, some packaging tools scream
I replied to this one, I don't fully agree, relative symlinks have their own issues,
and hard to convert absolute to relative when 3rd party components are involved.
4. do not use #!/bin/bash but #!/bin/sh, in 99,9% people are not
using
anything special from bash anyway
This is out of scope, we will depend on bash for now... too much legacy.
We can attend to that in future.
I can promise that no new code will be written in bash.
Thanks!
