1)
	consult all major changes with people on pld-rc-scripts@pld.org.pl
mailing list. This is very important.

2)
	use 'typeset' for local variables in functions for example:

function_ble ()
{
typeset qw er
qw=$(tty)
er=/dev/console
echo "$qw $er"
}

3)
	use $() instead `` for command execution for example

something=$(whoami)
instead of
something="`whoami`"

4)
	consider using typeset -i variable for integer variables

5)	don't use sed ! It only causes one more Requires.
	Use awk ' { gsub(/pattern/,"replaced"); print $0; } ' for that.
	Also try to replace grep calls with awk calls.
