Hi!

----

The ksh93 update tarballs announced below seem to work for Indiana
installations (not the LiveCD itself since the media is read-only), too.
Have fun... :-)

P.S.: ksh93-integration-discuss at opensolaris.org is a _technical_
mailinglist. Bug reports and technical discussions etc. are welcome but
please avoid the
"my-shell-is-better-than-yours"-discussions/flamewars/rants/etc.
there... Thanks! :-)

Hi!

----

2008-02-29: ksh93 update tarballs for OpenSolaris

These tarballs are intended to be installed over an existing OpenSolaris
>= B72 + Indiana distribution i386 or SPARC installation and provide ksh93s+_20080202 (the content matches PSARC/2008/094 (http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/arc/caselog/2008/094/)).

Note that the binaries are provided for testing and evaluation purpose
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).


** Highlights of this release:
- "multiline" editor mode allows to edit lines in a similar fashion
  as "readline"-based applications like "bash"

- /etc/ksh.kshrc now sets a default prompt for interactive sessions
  (see NOTES below)

- Many bugfixes

- Many closed-source binaries are replaced with opensource versions

- The shell script compiler "shcomp" is now included

- Many new demos including:
    - "shnote" (utilty to read/write pastebin.ca)
    - "shtwitter" (access twitter.com service and push blog entries)
    - "shpiano" (audio demo)
    - "shtinyurl" (tool to generate short tinyurl.com URLs)
    - "shman" (early prototype of a /usr/bin/man rewrite)
    - "svcproptree1" (SMF demo)
    - "xmldocumenttree1" (XML parser demo)
    - "test_net_sctp" (SCTP demo)
    - "multifollow" (poll(1) demo which run multiple "tail -f")
    ... and much more...


** Install instructions:

 1. Download the tarball:
      + i386/AMD64:
       
http://www.opensolaris.org/os/project/ksh93-integration/downloads/ksh93_integration_20080229_snapshot_i386.tar.bz2
      + SPARC:
http://www.opensolaris.org/os/project/ksh93-integration/downloads/ksh93_integration_20080229_snapshot_sparc.tar.bz2
 2. Verify the MD5 checksum:
      + i386/AMD64: MD5
        (ksh93_integration_20080229_snapshot_i386.tar.bz2)=
        7a1bae17aeeccd62df31a1c5d8295554
      + SPARC: MD5
        (ksh93_integration_20080229_snapshot_sparc.tar.bz2)=
        45c11e457118232f7fd1d07b0f178b1b
 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_20080229_snapshot_i386.tar.bz2
  $ /usr/sfw/bin/openssl md5
ksh93_integration_20080229_snapshot_i386.tar.bz2
  MD5(ksh93_integration_20080229_snapshot_i386.tar.bz2)=
7a1bae17aeeccd62df31a1c5d8295554
  # cd /
  # sync ; sync
  # bzcat </tmp/ksh93_integration_20080229_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_20080229_snapshot_sparc.tar.bz2
  $ /usr/sfw/bin/openssl md5
ksh93_integration_20080229_snapshot_sparc.tar.bz2
  MD5(ksh93_integration_20080229_snapshot_sparc.tar.bz2)=
45c11e457118232f7fd1d07b0f178b1b
  # cd /
  # sync ; sync
  # bzcat </tmp/ksh93_integration_20080229_snapshot_sparc.tar.bz2 | tar
-xvof -
  # sync ; sync


** Notes:
  * This tarball matches ksh93s+ (=ast-ksh.2008-02-02) with many
    many changes since the last version. Please test the binaries
    extensively.
  * The binaries now are build from a B72-based tree and require
    SXCR B72 or higher
  * Sources/diffs/webrevs:
      + The diffs between Solaris Nevada B72 and the current
        ksh93-integration tree can be obtained via
        svn diff -r 866:957 svn://svn.genunix.org/on/branches/ksh93
        /gisburn/prototype010/usr
        or as unified diff (3MB, MD5 checksum is
        3aab0a6f84a4c4e8bba2bbb0b844d628).
  * "multiline" input mode is now enabled by default in /etc/
    ksh.kshrc to match input/editor behaviour of bash.
  * /etc/ksh.kshrc now sets a default prompt (PS1) which contains
    <username>@<hostname>:<current_directory>$<blank> for normal
    users and <username>@<hostname>:<current_directory>#<blank> for
    user "root"; the prompt length itself is limited to ~~20
    characters to ensure it only occupies 1/4 of a standard 80x24
    terminal window.
  * <esc><ctrl-l> was added to emacs/gmacs mode to clear the screen
    (per community requests and to be in sync with bash)
  * 64bit binaries and libraries are now included (and used by
    default if the hardware is 64bit capable)
  * "shcomp", the shell script compiler is now included as 
    /usr/bin/shcomp.
  * AST l10n utilities are stored in /usr/ast/bin/.
  * Starting with ksh93s+ multibyte characters can be used for
    variable/function/etc.-names. Please test this functionality
    extensively.
  * Users of B72, B73, B74 and B75 (anything ?B75 has already been
    fixed) which like to use ksh93 as login shell must create the
    /etc/shells (see shells(4) manual page) to include it in the
    list of "allowed" system login shells (otherwise dtlogin will
    refuse graphical login):
    Example /etc/shells file (created using
    $ cat usr/src/lib/libc/port/gen/getusershell.c |
    egrep '.*".*/(bin|sbin)/.*".*' | sed 's/[",]//g' | sort -u #):

    /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

  * The tarball was created using the
    build_ksh93_standalone_tarball.sh script which is available in
    the usr/-directory of the prototype010 tree.
    Note: The script can only be used after a successfull $ make
    setup ; dmake install #-sequence, otherwise the resulting
    tarball will be incomplete.
  * The tarballs do not provide a manual page for ksh93. Please use
    the manual page for ksh93s+ in the meantime.
  * The ksh93 binaries can be build from source like this:
    (Instructions are for Solaris i386/AMD64; SPARC requires minor
    adjustments)
     1. Pull sources and extract closed bin stuff (files can be
        obtained from opensolaris.org):
        $ mkdir test_x86 ; cd test_x86
        $ svn checkout -r 957 svn://svn.genunix.org/on/branches/
        ksh93/gisburn/prototype010/usr
        $ bzcat <../download/on-closed-bins-nd-b72.i386.tar.bz2 |
        tar -xf -
        $ cd ..
     2. Create opensolaris.sh.
        This is the usual opensolaris.sh with the paths adjusted to
        match your location of the sources.
        Example for the changes applies to opensolaris.sh (for my
        workspace):

     3. Run "bldenv":
        $ env - SHELL=$SHELL TERM=$TERM HOME=$HOME LOGNAME=$LOGNAME
        DISPLAY=$DISPLAY XAUTHORITY=$XAUTHORITY LANG=C LC_ALL=C
        PAGER=less MANPATH=$MANPATH /opt/onbld/bin/bldenv
        opensolaris.sh #
     4. Build it (the quick way):
        $ cd test_x86/usr/src
        $ export CW_NO_SHADOW=1
        $ time nice make setup 2>&1 | tee -a buildlog_setup.log
