Comment (by larryv@…):

 Replying to [ticket:45205 rjvbertin@…]:
 > This update to dash portfile brings the port to the latest release (and
 corrects the livecheck feature). Not to make it lose too much
 functionality I have it built --with-libedit, linking to the system
 libedit instead of the (obsolete) one in MacPorts. I did *not* test this
 (yet) against libedit.3.dylib .

 We prefer to use our own libraries. If the `libedit` port is outdated, we
 should bring it up to date.

 Sorry, we will never implement this. We do not accommodate users who wish
 to screw up their OS X installations by replacing Apple-provided
 components. Anyone who wants to replace their `/bin/sh` with some other
 shell can easily whip up their own source build and do the deed on their
 own.
