Hi!

----

A new set of tarballs containing an OS/Net version of ksh93 [1] (based
on ksh93s-_alpha_20060912 [2]) is now available from
http://www.opensolaris.org/os/project/ksh93-integration/downloads/2006-09-12/

These tarballs are intended to be installed over an existing OpenSolaris
i386/AMD64 or SPARC installation and provide ksh93s-_alpha_20060924 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).

** Install instructions:

 1. Download the tarball:
      + i386/AMD64:
http://www.opensolaris.org/os/project/ksh93-integration/downloads/ksh93_integration_20060914_snapshot_i386.tar.bz2
      + SPARC:
http://www.opensolaris.org/os/project/ksh93-integration/downloads/ksh93_integration_20060914_snapshot_sparc.tar.bz2
 2. Verify the MD5 checksum:
      + i386/AMD64: MD5
        (ksh93_integration_20060914_snapshot_i386.tar.bz2)=
        2ac7ac192ed7eaca4f5375193ebcdab5
      + SPARC: MD5
        (ksh93_integration_20060914_snapshot_sparc.tar.bz2)=
        174d9665795b5cfb8e1161af8b8f822c
 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_20060914_snapshot_i386.tar.bz2
  % /usr/sfw/bin/openssl md5
ksh93_integration_20060914_snapshot_i386.tar.bz2
  MD5(ksh93_integration_20060914_snapshot_i386.tar.bz2)=
2ac7ac192ed7eaca4f5375193ebcdab5
  % cd /
  % sync ; sync
  % bzcat /tmp/ksh93_integration_20060914_snapshot_i386.tar.bz2 | tar
-xvof -

Example for SPARC:

  % cd /tmp
  % wget
http://www.opensolaris.org/os/project/ksh93-integration/downloads/ksh93_integration_20060914_snapshot_sparc.tar.bz2
  % /usr/sfw/bin/openssl md5
ksh93_integration_20060914_snapshot_sparc.tar.bz2
  MD5(ksh93_integration_20060914_snapshot_sparc.tar.bz2)=
174d9665795b5cfb8e1161af8b8f822c
  % cd /
  % sync ; sync
  % bzcat /tmp/ksh93_integration_20060914_snapshot_sparc.tar.bz2 | tar
-xvof -



** Notes:

  * This tarball marks a huge leap from ksh93r+ to ksh93s- with
    many many changes. Please test the binaries extensively.

  * A whole source diff between the AT&T ksh93r+/20060724 and
    ksh93s-/20060912 releases can be found in the project
    mailinglist [6].

  * 64bit binaries and libraries are now included (and used by
    default if the hardware is 64bit capable)

  * 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 B37 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 #.

  * The tarballs do not provide a manual page for ksh93. Please use
    the manual page for ksh93r in the meantime [3].

  * "multiline" input mode was temporary disabled in the default
    configuration due small issues.

  * The ksh93 binaries can be build from source like this:
     1. Pull sources and extract closed bin stuff (files can be
        obtained from opensolaris.org):
        $ mkdir test_x86 ; cd test_x86
        $ svn checkout -r 444 svn://svn.genunix.org/on/branches/
        ksh93/gisburn/prototype002/m1_ast_ast_imported/usr
        $ bzcat ../download/on-closed-bins-b37.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 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
        $ time nice make setup 2>&1 | tee -a buildlog_setup.log
        $ time nice dmake install >buildlog.log 2>&1
