Hi! ----
A new set of tarballs containing an OS/Net version of ksh93 [1] (based on ksh93s_alpha_20061207 [2]) is now available from http://www.opensolaris.org/os/project/ksh93-integration/downloads/2006-12-14/ These tarballs are intended to be installed over an existing OpenSolaris i386/AMD64 or SPARC installation and provide AT&T ksh93s_alpha_20061207 for testing and evaluation purposed ONLY. Please report [5] any problems/errors/bugs/comments to the ksh93-integration project bugzilla [5] or the ksh93-integration mailinglist [4] (please subscribe before posting). ** Installation: (please read http://www.opensolaris.org/os/project/ksh93-integration/downloads/2006-12-14/ for updated comments) 1. Download the tarball: + i386/AMD64: http://www.opensolaris.org/os/project/ksh93-integration/downloads/ksh93_integration_20061214_snapshot_i386.tar.bz2 + SPARC: http://www.opensolaris.org/os/project/ksh93-integration/downloads/ksh93_integration_20061214_snapshot_sparc.tar.bz2 2. Verify the MD5 checksum: + i386/AMD64: MD5 (ksh93_integration_20061214_snapshot_i386.tar.bz2)= b52e6b9180ed4b1b1ebf25f761031047 + SPARC: MD5 (ksh93_integration_20061214_snapshot_sparc.tar.bz2)= 7b547f1f18d760fc5101138f7948bb18 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 % wget http://www.opensolaris.org/os/project/ksh93-integration/downloads/ksh93_integration_20061214_snapshot_i386.tar.bz2 % /usr/sfw/bin/openssl md5 ksh93_integration_20061214_snapshot_i386.tar.bz2 MD5(ksh93_integration_20061214_snapshot_i386.tar.bz2)= b52e6b9180ed4b1b1ebf25f761031047 % cd / % sync ; sync % bzcat /tmp/ksh93_integration_20061214_snapshot_i386.tar.bz2 | tar -xvof - Example for SPARC: % cd /tmp % wget http://www.opensolaris.org/os/project/ksh93-integration/downloads/ksh93_integration_20061214_snapshot_sparc.tar.bz2 % /usr/sfw/bin/openssl md5 ksh93_integration_20061214_snapshot_sparc.tar.bz2 MD5(ksh93_integration_20061214_snapshot_sparc.tar.bz2)= 7b547f1f18d760fc5101138f7948bb18 % cd / % sync ; sync % bzcat /tmp/ksh93_integration_20061214_snapshot_sparc.tar.bz2 | tar -xvof - ** Notes: * These tarballs REQUIRE at least OpenSolaris build 51 or higher. (Older builds may work but may require a LD_PRELOAD=librt.so.1) * This tarball marks a huge leap from ksh93s- to ksh93s_final with many many changes. Please test the binaries extensively. * 64bit binaries and libraries are now included (and used by default if the hardware is 64bit capable) * Later versions of the binary tarball may populate /usr/ast/bin/ * If you wish to use ksh93 as login shell you have to create the file /etc/shells (see shells(4) manual page) to include it in the list of "allowed" system login shells: Example /etc/shells file (created using % cat lib/libc/port/gen /getusershell.c | egrep '.*".*bin.*".*' | sed 's/[",]//g' | sort -u #): /bin/bash /bin/csh /bin/jsh /bin/ksh /bin/ksh93 /bin/pfcsh /bin/pfksh /bin/pfksh93 /bin/pfsh /bin/rksh /bin/rksh93 /bin/sh /bin/tcsh /bin/zsh /sbin/jsh /sbin/ksh /sbin/ksh93 /sbin/pfksh93 /sbin/pfsh /sbin/rksh93 /sbin/sh /usr/bin/bash /usr/bin/csh /usr/bin/jsh /usr/bin/ksh /usr/bin/ksh93 /usr/bin/pfcsh /usr/bin/pfksh /usr/bin/pfksh93 /usr/bin/pfsh /usr/bin/rksh /usr/bin/rksh93 /usr/bin/sh /usr/bin/tcsh /usr/bin/zsh /usr/xpg4/bin/sh * libcmd.so is replaced with a version which includes both the ksh93 builtin commands and the private Solaris API of previous libcmd versions. * The tarball was simply created from an OS/Net B51 proto/ subdir via collecting the files listed by % find $ROOT '!' -type d | sed 's/.*\/root_sparc\///' | egrep "/(lib|llib-l)(cmd|ast|shell |dll)|/(ksh|rksh|pfksh)|include/ast" | egrep -v cmdutils | sort #. * The tarballs do not provide a manual page for ksh93. Please use the manual page for ksh93r in the meantime. * "multiline" input mode was temporary disabled in the default configuration due small issues. * Build instructions can be found at http://www.opensolaris.org/os/project/ksh93-integration/downloads/2006-12-14/ * A source webrev can be found at http://cr.grommit.com/~kupfer/ksh93/ ** Links/References: [1]=ksh93-integration/migration project home page: http://www.opensolaris.org/os/project/ksh93-integration/ [2]=ksh93s_alpha_20061207 release annoucement: https://mailman.research.att.com/pipermail/ast-users/2006q4/001476.html [3]=ksh93r manual page: http://www.opensolaris.org/os/project/ksh93-integration/docs/ksh93r/man/man1/sh/ [4]=ksh93-integration mailinglist: http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/ksh93-integration-discuss/ ; please subscribe before posting (and please avoid flamewars) !!
