There already is such a project. http://hub.opensolaris.org/bin/view/Project+emancipation/Helping In addition, the ksh93 integration project has delivered (and has a lot more in the queue) a lot to help this goal. http://hub.opensolaris.org/bin/view/Project+ksh93-integration/ There are other efforts that have been ongoing for some time (e.g. ON build with gcc) that are also related. -- Mike Gerdts http://mgerdts.blogspot.com/ _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
