Hi! ----
2008-02-29: ksh93 update tarballs for OpenSolaris These tarballs are intended to be installed over an existing OpenSolaris >= B72 + Indiana distribution i386 or SPARC installation and provide >ksh93s+_20080202 (the content matches PSARC/2008/094 >(http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/arc/caselog/2008/094/)). Note that the binaries are provided for testing and evaluation purpose 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). ** Highlights of this release: - "multiline" editor mode allows to edit lines in a similar fashion as "readline"-based applications like "bash" - /etc/ksh.kshrc now sets a default prompt for interactive sessions (see NOTES below) - Many bugfixes - Many closed-source binaries are replaced with opensource versions - The shell script compiler "shcomp" is now included - Many new demos including: - "shnote" (utilty to read/write pastebin.ca) - "shtwitter" (access twitter.com service and push blog entries) - "shpiano" (audio demo) - "shtinyurl" (tool to generate short tinyurl.com URLs) - "shman" (early prototype of a /usr/bin/man rewrite) - "svcproptree1" (SMF demo) - "xmldocumenttree1" (XML parser demo) - "test_net_sctp" (SCTP demo) - "multifollow" (poll(1) demo which run multiple "tail -f") ... and much more... ** Install instructions: 1. Download the tarball: + i386/AMD64: http://www.opensolaris.org/os/project/ksh93-integration/downloads/ksh93_integration_20080229_snapshot_i386.tar.bz2 + SPARC: http://www.opensolaris.org/os/project/ksh93-integration/downloads/ksh93_integration_20080229_snapshot_sparc.tar.bz2 2. Verify the MD5 checksum: + i386/AMD64: MD5 (ksh93_integration_20080229_snapshot_i386.tar.bz2)= 7a1bae17aeeccd62df31a1c5d8295554 + SPARC: MD5 (ksh93_integration_20080229_snapshot_sparc.tar.bz2)= 45c11e457118232f7fd1d07b0f178b1b 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_20080229_snapshot_i386.tar.bz2 $ /usr/sfw/bin/openssl md5 ksh93_integration_20080229_snapshot_i386.tar.bz2 MD5(ksh93_integration_20080229_snapshot_i386.tar.bz2)= 7a1bae17aeeccd62df31a1c5d8295554 # cd / # sync ; sync # bzcat </tmp/ksh93_integration_20080229_snapshot_i386.tar.bz2 | tar -xvof - # sync ; sync * Example for SPARC: $ cd /tmp $ wget http://www.opensolaris.org/os/project/ksh93-integration/downloads/ksh93_integration_20080229_snapshot_sparc.tar.bz2 $ /usr/sfw/bin/openssl md5 ksh93_integration_20080229_snapshot_sparc.tar.bz2 MD5(ksh93_integration_20080229_snapshot_sparc.tar.bz2)= 45c11e457118232f7fd1d07b0f178b1b # cd / # sync ; sync # bzcat </tmp/ksh93_integration_20080229_snapshot_sparc.tar.bz2 | tar -xvof - # sync ; sync ** Notes: * This tarball matches ksh93s+ (=ast-ksh.2008-02-02) with many many changes since the last version. Please test the binaries extensively. * The binaries now are build from a B72-based tree and require SXCR B72 or higher * Sources/diffs/webrevs: + The diffs between Solaris Nevada B72 and the current ksh93-integration tree can be obtained via svn diff -r 866:957 svn://svn.genunix.org/on/branches/ksh93 /gisburn/prototype010/usr or as unified diff (3MB, MD5 checksum is 3aab0a6f84a4c4e8bba2bbb0b844d628). * "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 ~~20 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. * Users of B72, B73, B74 and B75 (anything ?B75 has already been fixed) which like to use ksh93 as login shell must create the /etc/shells (see shells(4) manual page) to include it in the list of "allowed" system login shells (otherwise dtlogin will refuse graphical login): Example /etc/shells file (created using $ cat usr/src/lib/libc/port/gen/getusershell.c | egrep '.*".*/(bin|sbin)/.*".*' | sed 's/[",]//g' | sort -u #): /bin/bash /bin/csh /bin/jsh /bin/ksh /bin/ksh93 /bin/pfcsh /bin/pfksh /bin/pfsh /bin/sh /bin/tcsh /bin/zsh /sbin/jsh /sbin/pfsh /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/pfsh /usr/bin/sh /usr/bin/tcsh /usr/bin/zsh /usr/sfw/bin/zsh /usr/xpg4/bin/sh * The tarball was created using the build_ksh93_standalone_tarball.sh script which is available in the usr/-directory of the prototype010 tree. Note: The script can only be used after a successfull $ 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 957 svn://svn.genunix.org/on/branches/ ksh93/gisburn/prototype010/usr $ bzcat <../download/on-closed-bins-nd-b72.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 Thu Jan 666 13:17:59 2666 +++ ./opensolaris.sh Sun Jul 30 00:50:08 2666 @@ -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=test1_x86; export GATE # 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.
