Just look at the source code of ash some day. >real command of cvs package to function, mksh is required and qualify as This is not open for discussion. >recommend. This part is due to lintian – I originally had no mention of mksh anywhere, but lintian insists on having a dependency when it is used as shebang script. >But cvs-switchroot is not mentioned in cvs manpage while cvsbug is The manpage is autogenerated, I will not touch it. But I might refer to cvs-switchroot from the texinfo page, which is easy to change and read. Thanks for the idea. >ones in /usr/share/cvs/contrib/ written in Perl. Actually, commands in Well, it’s not from CVS, it’s from me. I don’t do Perl. (Actually, I tried to learn it thrice and failed every time, there are just _way too many_ ways to do “it” in Perl.) Even if I could, I probably wouldn’t do it. >changelog.Debian.gz. (Actually its description is confusing since >cvs-switchroot comes from "debian/cvs-switchroot" and not from >"src/scripts/mnt-cvsroot" as I see it packaged.) It comes from src/scripts/mnt-cvsroot in the same CVS repository where the Debian cvs packaging is hosted. The reference is correct. (Might have written mircvs://src/scripts/mnt-cvsroot instead…) > * install cvs-switchroot in usr/share/cvs/contrib/ Not really an option, because these aren’t real commands there, the manpage’ll be lost, etc. > * update FAQ and cvs.txt.gz and cvs.html to point people to this command in No. > * change "recommends" of mksh to "suggests" of mksh As you might have read from earlier mails in this thread, I was considering doing either this or just ignoring lintian.

Yes, that’s one point I strongly like as well. Glad it’s of use! Do check out “cvs suck”, too. bye, //mirabilos -- FWIW, I'm quite impressed with mksh interactively. I thought it was much *much* more bare bones. But it turns out it beats the living hell out of ksh93 in that respect. I'd even consider it for my daily use if I hadn't wasted half my life on my zsh setup. :-) -- Frank Terbeck in #!/bin/mksh -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
