Hi! ----
A new set of tarballs containing an OS/Net version of ksh93 [1] (based on ksh93s_final_20070111 [2]) is now available from http://www.opensolaris.org/os/project/ksh93-integration/downloads/2007-03-18/ These tarballs are intended to be installed over an existing OpenSolaris i386 or SPARC installation and provide ksh93s_final_20070111 [2] for testing and evaluation purposed ONLY. Please report any problems/errors/bugs/comments to the ksh93-integration project bugzilla [5] or the ksh93-integration mailinglist ([4]; please subscribe before posting). ** Install instructions: 1. Download the tarball: + i386/AMD64: http://www.opensolaris.org/os/project/ksh93-integration/downloads/ksh93_integration_20070318_snapshot_i386.tar.bz2 + SPARC: http://www.opensolaris.org/os/project/ksh93-integration/downloads/ksh93_integration_20070318_snapshot_sparc.tar.bz2 2. Verify the MD5 checksum: + i386/AMD64: MD5 (ksh93_integration_20070318_snapshot_i386.tar.bz2)= 1df38f1ade798a3fbff4f1250a8a211b + SPARC: MD5 (ksh93_integration_20070318_snapshot_sparc.tar.bz2)= 2a594b17b22844443aef2154a164d020 3. Login as user "root": 4. Change directory to / and unpack the tarball with /usr/bin/tar using the "xvof" option ("o" is very important to set the file ownership to "root") Example for i386/AMD64: $ cd /tmp $ wget http://www.opensolaris.org/os/project/ksh93-integration/downloads/ksh93_integration_20070318_snapshot_i386.tar.bz2 $ /usr/sfw/bin/openssl md5 ksh93_integration_20070318_snapshot_i386.tar.bz2 MD5(ksh93_integration_20070318_snapshot_i386.tar.bz2)= 1df38f1ade798a3fbff4f1250a8a211b # cd / # sync ; sync # bzcat </tmp/ksh93_integration_20070318_snapshot_i386.tar.bz2 | tar -xvof - # sync ; sync Example for SPARC: $ cd /tmp $ wget http://www.opensolaris.org/os/project/ksh93-integration/downloads/ksh93_integration_20070318_snapshot_sparc.tar.bz2 $ /usr/sfw/bin/openssl md5 ksh93_integration_20070318_snapshot_sparc.tar.bz2 MD5(ksh93_integration_20070318_snapshot_sparc.tar.bz2)= 2a594b17b22844443aef2154a164d020 # cd / # sync ; sync # bzcat </tmp/ksh93_integration_20070318_snapshot_sparc.tar.bz2 | tar -xvof - # sync ; sync ** Notes: * This tarball matches ksh93s_final (=ast-ksh.2007-01-11) with many many changes since the last version. Please test the binaries extensively. * The diffs between Solaris Nevada B51 and the current ksh93-integration tree can be obtained via svn diff -r 500:647 svn://svn.genunix.org/on/branches/ksh93/gisburn/prototype004/usr or as unified diff from http://www.opensolaris.org/os/project/ksh93-integration/downloads/svn_genunix_org_on_branches_ksh93_gisburn_prototype004_rev_500_647.diff.txt (12MB, MD5 checksum is 0ea00a2f410f742ed8c99321f26d2842). * 64bit binaries and libraries are now included (and used by default if the hardware is 64bit capable) * AST l10n utilities are stored in /usr/ast/bin/. * If you wish to use ksh93 as login shell you have to create the file /etc/shells (see shells(4) manual page) to include it in the list of "allowed" system login shells: Example /etc/shells file (created using $ cat usr/src/lib/libc/port/gen/getusershell.c | egrep '.*".*/(bin|sbin)/.*".*' | sed 's/[",]//g' | sort -u #): -- snip -- /bin/bash /bin/csh /bin/jsh /bin/ksh /bin/ksh93 /bin/pfcsh /bin/pfksh /bin/pfsh /bin/sh /bin/tcsh /bin/zsh /sbin/jsh /sbin/pfsh /sbin/sh /usr/bin/bash /usr/bin/csh /usr/bin/jsh /usr/bin/ksh /usr/bin/ksh93 /usr/bin/pfcsh /usr/bin/pfksh /usr/bin/pfsh /usr/bin/sh /usr/bin/tcsh /usr/bin/zsh /usr/sfw/bin/zsh /usr/xpg4/bin/sh -- snip -- * libcmd.so is replaced with a version which includes both the ksh93 builtin commands and the private Solaris API of previous libcmd versions. * The tarball was simply created from an OS/Net B51 proto/ subdir via collecting the files listed by $ find $ROOT '!' -type d | sed 's/.*\/root_sparc\///' | egrep "/(lib|llib-l)(cmd|ast|shell |dll|pp)|/(ksh|rksh|pfksh)|include/ast|usr/ast/" | egrep -v cmdutils | sort #. * The tarballs do not provide a manual page for ksh93. Please use the manual page for ksh93r [3] in the meantime. * "multiline" input mode was temporary disabled in the default configuration due small issues. * Build instructions and further notes can be found at http://www.opensolaris.org/os/project/ksh93-integration/downloads/2007-03-18/ ** Links/References: [1]=ksh93-integration/migration project home page: http://www.opensolaris.org/os/project/ksh93-integration/ [2]=ksh93s_final_20070111 release annoucement: https://mailman.research.att.com/pipermail/ast-users/2007q1/001546.html [3]=ksh93r manual page: http://www.opensolaris.org/os/project/ksh93-integration/docs/ksh93r/man/man1/sh/ [4]=ksh93-integration mailinglist: http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/ksh93-integration-discuss/ ; please subscribe before posting (and please avoid flamewars) !!
