[ksh93-integration-discuss] ksh93-integration 2006-12-14 test binaries available for download

[Roland Mainz]

Hi!

----

A new set of tarballs containing an OS/Net version of ksh93 [1] (based
on ksh93s_alpha_20061207 [2]) is now available from
http://www.opensolaris.org/os/project/ksh93-integration/downloads/2006-12-14/

These tarballs are intended to be installed over an existing OpenSolaris
i386/AMD64 or SPARC installation and provide AT&T ksh93s_alpha_20061207
for testing and evaluation purposed ONLY.

Please report [5] any problems/errors/bugs/comments to the
ksh93-integration project bugzilla [5] or the ksh93-integration
mailinglist [4] (please subscribe before posting).

** Installation:
(please read
http://www.opensolaris.org/os/project/ksh93-integration/downloads/2006-12-14/
for updated comments)

 1. Download the tarball:
      + i386/AMD64:
http://www.opensolaris.org/os/project/ksh93-integration/downloads/ksh93_integration_20061214_snapshot_i386.tar.bz2
      + SPARC:
http://www.opensolaris.org/os/project/ksh93-integration/downloads/ksh93_integration_20061214_snapshot_sparc.tar.bz2
 2. Verify the MD5 checksum:
      + i386/AMD64: MD5
        (ksh93_integration_20061214_snapshot_i386.tar.bz2)=
        b52e6b9180ed4b1b1ebf25f761031047
      + SPARC: MD5
        (ksh93_integration_20061214_snapshot_sparc.tar.bz2)=
        7b547f1f18d760fc5101138f7948bb18
 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_20061214_snapshot_i386.tar.bz2
  % /usr/sfw/bin/openssl md5
ksh93_integration_20061214_snapshot_i386.tar.bz2
  MD5(ksh93_integration_20061214_snapshot_i386.tar.bz2)=
b52e6b9180ed4b1b1ebf25f761031047
  % cd /
  % sync ; sync
  % bzcat /tmp/ksh93_integration_20061214_snapshot_i386.tar.bz2 | tar
-xvof -

Example for SPARC:

  % cd /tmp
  % wget
http://www.opensolaris.org/os/project/ksh93-integration/downloads/ksh93_integration_20061214_snapshot_sparc.tar.bz2
  % /usr/sfw/bin/openssl md5
ksh93_integration_20061214_snapshot_sparc.tar.bz2
  MD5(ksh93_integration_20061214_snapshot_sparc.tar.bz2)=
7b547f1f18d760fc5101138f7948bb18
  % cd /
  % sync ; sync
  % bzcat /tmp/ksh93_integration_20061214_snapshot_sparc.tar.bz2 | tar
-xvof -


** Notes:
  * These tarballs REQUIRE at least OpenSolaris build 51 or higher.
    (Older builds may work but may require a LD_PRELOAD=librt.so.1)
  * This tarball marks a huge leap from ksh93s- to ksh93s_final
    with many many changes. Please test the binaries extensively.
  * 64bit binaries and libraries are now included (and used by
    default if the hardware is 64bit capable)
  * Later versions of the binary tarball may populate /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 lib/libc/port/gen
    /getusershell.c | egrep '.*".*bin.*".*' | sed 's/[",]//g' |
    sort -u #):

    /bin/bash
    /bin/csh
    /bin/jsh
    /bin/ksh
    /bin/ksh93
    /bin/pfcsh
    /bin/pfksh
    /bin/pfksh93
    /bin/pfsh
    /bin/rksh
    /bin/rksh93
    /bin/sh
    /bin/tcsh
    /bin/zsh
    /sbin/jsh
    /sbin/ksh
    /sbin/ksh93
    /sbin/pfksh93
    /sbin/pfsh
    /sbin/rksh93
    /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/pfksh93
    /usr/bin/pfsh
    /usr/bin/rksh
    /usr/bin/rksh93
    /usr/bin/sh
    /usr/bin/tcsh
    /usr/bin/zsh
    /usr/xpg4/bin/sh

  * 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)|/(ksh|rksh|pfksh)|include/ast" | egrep -v cmdutils | sort
    #.
  * The tarballs do not provide a manual page for ksh93. Please use
    the manual page for ksh93r in the meantime.
  * "multiline" input mode was temporary disabled in the default
    configuration due small issues.
  * Build instructions can be found at
http://www.opensolaris.org/os/project/ksh93-integration/downloads/2006-12-14/
  * A source webrev can be found at http://cr.grommit.com/~kupfer/ksh93/
