For Oracle Solaris yes. The same patch cluster was submitted to illumos-dev but never made it into their sources. > (e.g. 'rm -f' with no argument > produes error) which were fixed in upstream? Short version: Olga Kryzhanovska and Roland Mainz appear to be working on that; if you follow the [email protected] list you see a flurry of ongoing patches and testing on Solaris being done (current focus appears to be on O_XATTR, /proc, China locale, new allocator, namespaces and stability work). Olga's last comment on the subject was "... we wait for ksh93 version v- to stabilise...". That was in mid August. The last I tried (ast-ksh.2013-08-14) was not quite ready yet since some of the Solaris test modules failed for that version. Glenn Fowlers comments indicate that ksh93 version v- may soon enter the beta phase, maybe we can ask Olga/Roland for patches then.
