the AT&T Software Technology ast alpha 2013-08-14 source release
has been posted to the download site
http://www.research.att.com/sw/download/alpha/
the package names and md5 checksums are
INIT ab18ae3ed80758d27adc2937d1877cae
ast-ksh 7aade4e56a21b5fdbf64504cd2c5cd29
the md5 sums should match the ones listed on the download page
this alpha is limited to ast-ksh mainly to verify that recent
portability/emulation changes are working
in particular please report any problems with O_SEARCH and cd -@
these will be addressed first so we can move on to other things
we've gone through a couple of rounds of this because we want
gnarly patches to be consolidated in one part of the code
and in that process dgk+gsf have had a few disconnects with the patches
basically we would really like to have the bulk of ast #ifdef's
in the libast and a few other libs and leave the commands/plugins
fairly clean
