Description: #
This is GNU Bash. Bash is the GNU Project's Bourne Again SHell, a complete implementation of the POSIX.2 shell spec, but also with interactive command line editing, job control on architectures that support it, csh-like features such as history substitution and brace expansion, and a slew of other features.

shells/bash53: Remove extra version of bash

Remove in favor of updating shells/bash to the most recent version.

This has been requested by multiple users on the mailing list who
preferred keeping shells/bash up to date rather than maintaining a
separate versioned port for 5.3.
