After some thinking and an IRC debate I commited http://polaris.blastwave.org/changeset/352 ... setting % export BUILD_KSH93_AS_BINSH=1 # before "make setup" will switch /bin/sh to ksh93. Note that this option is currently untested. During development of this patch I hit another issue which may require adjustments: Currently we install libshell.so&co. in /lib (to allow applications to use it even in the early stages of the boot sequence, even when /usr is not mounted at that point) while the ksh93 frontend lives in /usr/bin/ ... which is slightly inconsistent. We have two options a) Move everything into "/usr" (e.g. /usr/bin and /usr/lib) OR b) Move everything into "/" (e.g. /sbin and /lib) Since we already have requests to have libshell in "/lib" we may want to go with [b] ...
