Description ¶
I think that Xorg needs to contain a note recommending the use of BASH. While we may use it in the loop statements we don't explicitly recommend the usage of it. When I attempted to compile Xorg under ZSH the result was that the packages attempted to install to 'usr --sysconfdir=/' and failed, for some reason ZSH does not handle XORG_CONFIG correctly.

I'm kind of indifferent about this one. The instructions explicitly use bash, the environment should be setup while using bash. Maybe add a blub to the introduction page to make sure that the environment is setup in bash since the scripts use bashisms?

Fixed in r7986.
Modified the existing note to be sure you are using bash.
