-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2008-11285 2008-12-17 03:31:40 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : mksh Product : Fedora 10 Version : 36b Release : 1.fc10 URL : http://www.mirbsd.de/mksh/ Summary : MirBSD enhanced version of the Korn Shell Description : mksh is the MirBSD enhanced version of the Public Domain Korn shell (pdksh), a bourne-compatible shell which is largely similar to the original AT&T Korn shell. It includes bug fixes and feature improvements in order to produce a modern, robust shell good for interactive and especially script use, being a bourne shell replacement, pdksh successor and an alternative to the C shell. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: Relevant changes in this release for Linux are as follows (taken from the official change description for this release): __typeof__ is not used. Statements can be used as expressions. An alias expansion bug was fixed. bashiop use inside a function was fixed. strings.h is pulled if it exists. Some format string warnings, dead code, and casts were cleaned up. Several of these former issues have been noticed by Fedora users (with and without a bug report, partially directly to upstream) and upstream suggested me personally to perform this update for all branches. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Sun Dec 14 2008 Robert Scheck <[email protected]> 36b-1 - Upgrade to 36b and updated arc4random.c file * Tue Dec 2 2008 Robert Scheck <[email protected]> 36-2 - Upstream patch for command hang/high cpu workload (#474115) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- References: [ 1 ] Bug #474115 - command hang in ksh and cpu workload is high https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=474115 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "yum" update program.
