Under unstable/testing, /bin/ksh is a symbolic link that is handled by the alternates system. ksh93 is the highest priority package providing /bin/ksh. I think this is the best way to handle /bin/ksh because it gives the user control. zsh provides half reasonable ksh emulation and it wouldn't be unreasonable for a zsh user to choose to use zsh as /bin/ksh to allow ksh scripts to run without installing extra programs. > (Yes, there was pdksh long ago - but that project is dead, the last > major update was released in 2001 and since then nothing happened) According to the popularity contest pdksh still has many more installations than ksh93. In addition a pdksh fork named mksh exists that has seen some development. Any idea how we might convince more people to swap pdksh for ast-ksh?
