Hi! ----
It seems James's original email didn't make it to this list... ;-( ... anyway: For the log: The final ARC case for the first ksh93-integration putback is now running (timeout is ~~ one week from yesterday and if no problems occur during the case we can focus on code review&&putback after the case gets approved... :-) ) ... :-) -------- Original Message -------- Subject: 2007/035 ksh93 Amendments Date: Tue, 16 Jan 2007 13:46:42 -0500 From: James Carlson <[email protected]> To: psarc-ext at sun.com CC: "April D. Chin" <april.chin at sun.com> I'm sponsoring this fast-track request on behalf of April Chin and the ksh93 project team. Please note that this is an *open* case. The release binding is the same as with the previous ksh93 project: a patch/micro release of Solaris delivering through ON. ksh93 has not yet delivered into any release of Solaris. Stability levels are as described below. Additional materials (man pages and diffs) can be found in the 'materials' subdirectory. This project is an amendment to the Korn Shell 93 Integration project (PSARC/2006/550) specifying the following additional interfaces: 1) a ksh93 built-in getconf command and 2) AT&T components for building message files for localization Bug/RFE Number(s): 6505835 AST tools and library (libpp) required for creating l10n messages for ksh93 Description The AT&T built-in version of the getconf utility in ksh93 contains extensions not present in the Solaris getconf utility, which are required to run the AT&T ksh93 tests; these tests are critical to the verification of ksh93 builds. The getconf built-in allows users to write ksh93 scripts which are portable across different systems and which can take advantage of AT&T extensions to ksh93 [1,2]. Like other built-in commands named in PSARC/2006/550, the getconf built-in in ksh93 will be bound to the /bin pathname. The built-in getconf in ksh93 will only be invoked if called with no pathname prefix, and if a /bin/getconf or /usr/bin/getconf executable is found first on the user's path. The stability of the getconf built-in command-line interface and the system variables documented in getconf(1) is Committed; its pathname binding to /bin is Volatile. The getconf built-in supports additional system variables not available for /usr/bin/getconf; these variables are Project Private, and include names prefixed with "AST" and "_AST". All options and system variables supported by /usr/bin/getconf produce identical output values using the ksh93 built-in getconf. Additions to the ksh93 test suite and to /usr/bin/getconf testing will ensure that ksh93 built-in getconf continues to provide functionality compatible with /usr/bin/getconf. The second portion of this project specifies the addition of AT&T message-building components--a library, ksh93 scripts, and a set of binaries--required for the ksh93 project to build its message files for localization. The message-building tools and proposed AT&T library, libpp, have a strong dependency on libast, one of the new AT&T libraries specified in PSARC/2006/550. Therefore these components should be kept in sync with libast on Solaris. These components will initially be used only by the Korn Shell 93 Integration Project (PSARC/2006/550). The proposed location of the tools in /usr/ast/bin is consistent with the location used within AT&T. If the interface stability level of the shared libraries listed in PSARC/2006/550 (libshell, libast, libdll, and libcmd) is promoted from Project Private, the stability of the /usr/ast/bin components listed below should be promoted to at least the same level, to allow consumers of the former to build the appropriate message files. Interface Description Stability --------- ----------- --------- /usr/lib/libpp.so.1 AT&T ANSI C preprocessor library Project Private /usr/ast/bin directory for AT&T commands Volatile /usr/ast/bin/msgadmin ksh93 script for message catalog Volatile file administration /usr/ast/bin/msgcc ksh93 script for generating message Volatile catalog files binaries used by msgcc and msgadmin for message formatting, converting: /usr/ast/bin/msgcpp Volatile /usr/ast/bin/msgcvt Volatile /usr/ast/bin/msggen Volatile /usr/ast/bin/msgget Volatile A new package for AST (Advanced Software Technology) developer tools, SUNWastdev, will be created, which includes all of the above message-building components. These tools have a dependency on ksh93 and its libraries, as listed in PSARC/2006/550, and shall not be integrated before the Korn Shell 93 Integration project. Dynamic library dependencies of msgcpp, msgcvt, msggen, and msgget: libpp.so.1 => /usr/lib/libpp.so.1 libast.so.1 => /usr/lib/libast.so.1 libm.so.2 => /lib/libm.so.2 libc.so.1 => /usr/lib/libc.so.1 libsocket.so.1 => /usr/lib/libsocket.so.1 libnsl.so.1 => /usr/lib/libnsl.so.1 libmp.so.2 => /usr/lib/libmp.so.2 libmd.so.1 => /usr/lib/libmd.so.1 libscf.so.1 => /usr/lib/libscf.so.1 libuutil.so.1 => /usr/lib/libuutil.so.1 /platform/SUNW,Sun-Fire-V890/lib/libc_psr.so.1 /platform/SUNW,Sun-Fire-V890/lib/libmd_psr.so.1 References: [1] getconf background from Glenn Fowler of AT&T http://mail.opensolaris.org/pipermail/ksh93-integration-discuss/2006-November/001863.html [2] more getconf background from Glenn Fowler http://mail.opensolaris.org/pipermail/ksh93-integration-discuss/2006-November/001864.html _______________________________________________ opensolaris-arc mailing list opensolaris-arc at opensolaris.org
