Hi!
----
2009-08-22: ksh93-integration update 2 tarballs for Solaris 11
Nevada+OpenSolaris/Indiana
These tarballs ([2]) are intended to be installed over an existing
Solaris Nevada/Indiana/OpenSolaris >= B110 i386 or SPARC installation
and provide ksh93t+_20090505 and the content described in PSARC/2009/248
("ksh93 update to 2009-03-10") and PSARC/2009/249 ("more ksh93 command
conversions").
Note that the binaries are provided for testing and evaluation purposes
ONLY.
Please report any problems/errors/bugs/comments to the ksh93-integration
project bugzilla[5] or the ksh93-integration mailinglist[4] (please
subscribe before posting).

**** Differences to the previous test release (2009-07-02)
The only difference to the previous test release
(http://www.opensolaris.org/os/project/ksh93-integration/downloads/2009-07-02/)
is the fix for the /usr/bin/tail, /usr/xpg4/bin/tail and "tail"
utilities to handle FIFOs correctly (see
http://bugs.grommit.com/show_bug.cgi?id=630 ('AST "tail" fails to handle
FIFOs correctly' ; the patch (including a testcase) can be found at
http://bugs.grommit.com/attachment.cgi?id=331)).
The fixed "tail" utility can be identified based on it's version number
which should now print "2009-08-15":
-- snip --
$ tail
--version
version tail (AT&T Research) 2009-08-15
-- snip --
**** Highlights of this release:
- Many bugfixes to ksh93, it's infrastructure and other
commands, primarily focussing on stability, improved error
checking, performance and fixing support for large, complex
variable trees.
- The several commands have been updated (or added) and now
include common GNU+BSD+AST features, including:
/usr/bin/cksum
/usr/bin/cmp
/usr/bin/comm
/usr/bin/cut
/usr/bin/head
/usr/bin/join
/usr/bin/kill
/usr/bin/logname
/usr/bin/mkfifo
/usr/bin/paste
/usr/bin/print
/usr/bin/rev
/usr/bin/sleep
/usr/bin/sum
/usr/bin/tail
/usr/bin/tee
/usr/bin/test
/usr/bin/uniq
/usr/bin/wait
/usr/bin/wc
/usr/xpg4/bin/tail
(the full list of updated commands can be found below)
- The following bugs/RFEs will be fixed by this putback:

**** Install instructions:
*** Basic installation:
1. Download the tarball:
+ i386/AMD64:
http://www.opensolaris.org/os/project/ksh93-integration/downloads/ksh93_integration_20090822_snapshot_i386.tar.bz2
+ SPARC:
http://www.opensolaris.org/os/project/ksh93-integration/downloads/ksh93_integration_20090822_snapshot_sparc.tar.bz2
2. Verify the MD5 checksum:
+ i386/AMD64: MD5
(ksh93_integration_20090822_snapshot_i386.tar.bz2)=
a0be4104332c4b4e7b2276e2c5ec5022
+ SPARC: MD5
(ksh93_integration_20090822_snapshot_sparc.tar.bz2)=
7e51d76427f2a033f721fef6a87531af
3. Login as user "root":
4. Change directory to / and unpack the tarball with /usr/bin/tar
using the "xvof" option ("o" is very important to set the file
ownership to "root")
** Example for i386/AMD64:
$ cd /tmp
$ /usr/sfw/bin/wget \
http://www.opensolaris.org/os/project/ksh93-integration/downloads/ksh93_integration_20090822_snapshot_i386.tar.bz2
$ sum -x md5 ksh93_integration_20090822_snapshot_i386.tar.bz2
a0be4104332c4b4e7b2276e2c5ec5022
ksh93_integration_20090822_snapshot_i386.tar.bz2
# cd /
# sync ; sync
# bzcat </tmp/ksh93_integration_20090822_snapshot_i386.tar.bz2 | tar
-xvof -
# sync ; sync
** Example for SPARC:
$ cd /tmp
$ /usr/sfw/bin/wget \
http://www.opensolaris.org/os/project/ksh93-integration/downloads/ksh93_integration_20090822_snapshot_sparc.tar.bz2
$ sum -x md5 ksh93_integration_20090822_snapshot_sparc.tar.bz2
7e51d76427f2a033f721fef6a87531af
ksh93_integration_20090822_snapshot_sparc.tar.bz2
# cd /
# sync ; sync
# bzcat </tmp/ksh93_integration_20090822_snapshot_sparc.tar.bz2 | tar
-xvof -
# sync ; sync
*** [OPTIONAL] Using ksh93 as /sbin/sh:
After installation of the tarball the following steps will replace
the original Bourne shell with ksh93:
Example for i386/AMD64:
# cp /usr/bin/i86/ksh93 /sbin/ksh93
# [[ ! -f /sbin/bsh ]] && mv /sbin/sh /sbin/bsh || rm /sbin/sh
# mv /sbin/ksh93 /sbin/sh
# sync ; sync
** Example for SPARC:
# cp /usr/bin/sparcv7/ksh93 /sbin/ksh93
# [[ ! -f /sbin/bsh ]] && mv /sbin/sh /sbin/bsh || rm /sbin/sh
# mv /sbin/ksh93 /sbin/sh
# sync ; sync
**** Notes:
* This tarball matches ksh93t+ (=ast-ksh.2009-06-22) with many
many changes since the last version. Please test the binaries
extensively.
* The following commands have been updated (or added) and now
include common GNU+BSD+AST features:
/usr/bin/bg, /usr/bin/cd, /usr/bin/cksum, /usr/bin/cmp,
/usr/bin/comm, /usr/bin/command, /usr/bin/cut, /usr/bin/fc,
/usr/bin/fg, /usr/bin/getopts, /usr/bin/hash, /usr/bin/head,
/usr/bin/jobs, /usr/bin/join, /usr/bin/kill, /usr/bin/logname,
/usr/bin/mkfifo, /usr/bin/paste, /usr/bin/print, /usr/bin/read,
/usr/bin/rev, /usr/bin/sleep, /usr/bin/sum, /usr/bin/tail,
/usr/bin/tee, /usr/bin/test, /usr/bin/type, /usr/bin/ulimit,
/usr/bin/umask, /usr/bin/unalias, /usr/bin/uniq, /usr/bin/wait,
/usr/bin/wc, /usr/xpg4/bin/tail
* The binaries now are build from a B111-based tree and require
SXCR B110 or higher
* Sources/diffs/webrevs:
+ The diffs between Solaris Nevada B111 and the current
ksh93-integration tree can be obtained via...

+ Alternatively webrev pages are available at
http://cr.opensolaris.org/~gisburn/ksh93_integration_update2_20090822_webrev/
* "multiline" input mode is now enabled by default in
/etc/ksh.kshrc to match input/editor behaviour of bash.
* /etc/ksh.kshrc now sets a default prompt (PS1) which contains
<username>@<hostname>:<current_directory>$<blank> for normal
users and <username>@<hostname>:<current_directory>#<blank> for
user "root"; the prompt length itself is limited to ~~30
characters to ensure it only occupies ~~1/4 of a standard 80x24
terminal window.
* <esc><ctrl-l> was added to emacs/gmacs mode to clear the screen
(per community requests and to be in sync with bash)
* 64bit binaries and libraries are now included (and used by
default if the hardware is 64bit capable)
* "shcomp", the shell script compiler is now included as /usr/bin
/shcomp.
* AST l10n utilities are stored in /usr/ast/bin/.
* Starting with ksh93s+ multibyte characters can be used for
variable/function/etc.-names. Please test this functionality
extensively.
* The tarball was created using the
build_ksh93_standalone_tarball.sh script which is available in
the base directory of the prototype021 tree.
Note: The script can only be used after a successfull
$ cd usr/ src ; (cd tools ; make install) ; make setup ; \
dmake install #-sequence, otherwise the resulting tarball
will be incomplete.
* The tarballs do not provide a manual page for ksh93. Please use
the manual page for ksh93s+ in the meantime.
* The ksh93 binaries can be build from source like this:
(Instructions are for Solaris i386/AMD64; SPARC requires minor
adjustments)
1. Pull sources and extract closed bin stuff (files can be
obtained from opensolaris.org):
$ mkdir test_x86 ; cd test_x86
$ svn checkout -r 1674 \
svn://svn.genunix.org/on/branches/ksh93/gisburn/prototype021/usr
$ bzcat <../download/on-closed-bins-nd.i386.tar.bz2 | \
tar -xf -
$ bzcat <../download/on-closed-bins.i386.tar.bz2 | \
tar -xf
-
$ cd ..
2. Create opensolaris.sh.
This is the usual opensolaris.sh with the paths adjusted to
match your location of the sources.
Example for the changes applies to opensolaris.sh (for my
workspace):
--- ./test1_x86/usr/src/tools/env/opensolaris.sh <date>
+++ ./opensolaris.sh <date>
@@ -43,10 +43,10 @@
# This is a variable for the rest of the script - GATE doesn't
# matter to nightly itself
-GATE=testws; export GATE
+GATE=prototype021; export GATE
+# workaround for B111 build issue
+export NOT_UNDER_SCM=true
# CODEMGR_WS - where is your workspace at (or what should
# nightly name it)
-CODEMGR_WS="/export/$GATE"; export CODEMGR_WS
+CODEMGR_WS="/home/test001/ksh93/on_build1/$GATE"; export CODEMGR_WS
# Location of encumbered binaries.
ON_CLOSED_BINS="$CODEMGR_WS/closed"; export ON_CLOSED_BINS
3. Run "bldenv":
$ env - SHELL=$SHELL TERM=$TERM HOME=$HOME LOGNAME=$LOGNAME \
DISPLAY=$DISPLAY XAUTHORITY=$XAUTHORITY LANG=C LC_ALL=C \
PAGER=less MANPATH=$MANPATH /opt/onbld/bin/bldenv \
opensolaris.sh #
4. Build it (the quick way):
$ cd prototype021/usr/src
$ export CW_NO_SHADOW=1
$ time nice make setup 2>&1 | tee -a buildlog_setup.log
$ time nice dmake install >buildlog.log 2>&1
