Thanks for explaining this almost-weekly process. It seems an important process - if not the most important one, which seems top priority for OpenIndiana, and I appreciate the effort (or your efforts) on this and hopefully the ksh93 changes can be merged into OI. My guess is that the shell/ksh93 and SUNWcs (cs=core solaris) are important ones to have - VERY important ones to have. Unless some longtime OI developers seriously object, I'd say that your plan to gradually run "gmake REQUIRED_PACKAGES" again as you go along and work on packages seems a good plan. By the way, in Smalltalk the package squeak-5 that is now built using epoll(5) support. https://illumos.org/man/5/epoll epoll(5) is in Illumos and I think OpenIndiana gets this "thanks to Illumos", and thanks to your weekly updates of almost automatically integrating Illumos changes into OI. So I'm independently working now on a new update for squeak-5 which uses Illumos epoll(5) support, and I'll run gmake REQUIRED_PACKAGES on the squeak-5 Makefile, which is very likely to find now shell/ksh93 as required. I would tend to say that running an automatic update on all packages to run gmake REQUIRED_PACKAGES seems to me a risky idea, the idea to do it only gradually seems a better idea to me. In fact I could submit a pull request or PR next week for example an update of squeak-5 with new changes from Smalltalk on the one hand, and on the other hand an updated REQUIRED_PACKAGES.
