Unfortunately this is not the finish line, only the first checkpoint. We
have lots of other things on the ToDo list, including "shcomp" (shell
script compiler (and the "shbinexec" kernel glue)), kshdbx, Dtrace
support for ksh93, switching over the consumers of alias.sh,
/usr/bin/sleep&&/usr/bin/test switchover, more builtin command issues,
pfksh93 bickering (or better: RBAC vs. POSIX behaviour), /usr/bin/ksh
migration to ksh93, development of a libshell API which matches the
stabilty requirements of OS/Net, killing more bugs, threading support in
ksh93 (e.g. make libshell's interface threadsafe and add support for
multiple worker threads in a subshell instance), aiding others to use
ksh93 features in their shell scripts (e.g. each time I look at webrev I
could scream. And scripts like "bfu" and /opt/onbld/bin/acr are
canidates for the worst mixture of Bourne/Korn-style coding ever seen in
history, right after some of the SMF scripts). And somewhere between
these items I need a real-world job and a faster build machine because
my Ultra5 _sucks_ (sorry for using explicit languauge but waiting two
days for a build to finish with "yet another build error" ("... please
fix and rebuild from scratch, see you with another error in two
days...") isn't really something which makes me happy right now... ;-(
).
