Well, this issue is actually a mistake of the first ksh93-integration ARC case. I didn't check the material good enougth against the prototype codebase and forgot to point out that we have to deliver a /etc/ksh.kshrc file with some specific content. My fault. > I am observing the ksh93 integration project nearly since the > beginning and I have to question whether or not really all the > bureaucracy is needed. In this case it is needed since the original ksh93-integration ARC case didn't cover that file... that's all. > I think Sun and the Open Solaris team should > discuss options to streamline the integration process for all new > projects and the bureaucracy needed during project evolution. Well, we may want to discuss this after out initial putback is done (I don't like to be caught in a crossfire of getting the code putback and a large discussion). I think I have an idea how this could be solved... ... but please let us finish this work first.
