The ksh scripts work fine on Solaris (tested tar and zip).
Great. (sort of :-) )
I have found another issue with them, tough. When you just put the script directory in your path and type 'ij.ksh', most unices will use /bin/sh instead of ksh. Under Linux and Cygwin this is fine because /bin/sh actually is Bash, which supports all the ksh commands used in the scripts. Under Solaris and BSD /bin/sh is not Bash, and therefore the scripts fail.
Wouldn't a #! be sufficient? I guess you never know for sure...
I'll file a JIRA issue on this and attach a patch. Sorry I didn't bring it up earlier. (The thing is, I have never actually used the scripts.)
Can we agree that this is not a showstopper for 10.1.2.1, considering that this was an issue for 10.1.1.0? I agree that it would be nice to fix so that it works 'out-of-the-box' for everyone, but at some point you need to make a cutoff for fixes, no matter how small. Personally, I think that this is something that can wait for 10.1.3 and/or 10.2, and there are other suggestions completely besides scripts (see Lance's mail about using Ant).
If there are no objections, I think we should target DERBY-667 and DERBY-677 for 10.1.3.0/10.2.0.0 and continue forward with releasing 10.1.2.1.
