Bad if statement?

[Glort572]

Hey, I'm just curious. Shouldn't there be == instead of = in the if statement at line 21 of powerline.base.sh?

Line 21 of which file are you talking about?

We want to normalize it from = to ==, but both actually works practically. The POSIX standard only defines = for the comparison of strings in the commands [ / test. On the other hand, ksh [[ ... ]] has many differences from the POSIX standard [ ... ]. The choice of operator from == and = is one of them. Although == is not standardized, it is widely used in [[ ... ]] in ksh/bash/zsh/etc.

By the way, thanks for answering and clearing my doubt! :)
