Hi!

----

2008-06-24: ksh93 update tarballs for Solaris Nevada >= B84+Indiana

These tarballs are intended to be installed over an existing
OpenSolaris >= B84 i386 or SPARC installation and provide
ksh93t-_20080614 and match PSARC/2008/094 ("ksh93 Update 1" ;
http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/arc/caselog/2008/094)/ +
PSARC/2008/344 ("ksh93 Integration Update 1 Amendments 1" ;
http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/arc/caselog/2008/344/)

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).


** Highlights of this release:
- /etc/ksh.kshrc now sets a default prompt for interactive sessions
  (see NOTES below) and enables the "multiline" input mode.

- Many bugfixes, primarily focussing on stability, improved error
  checking, performance and fixing support for large, complex
  variable trees.

- Many closed-source binaries are replaced with opensource versions

- The shell script compiler "shcomp" is now included

- Many new demos including:
    - "crawlsrccomments" (two-phased source code comment+license
       extrator which uses serialised variable trees for
       storage+caching)
    - "filemutexdemo1" (demo to show ksh93's new type system and
       an implementation of filesystem-based read/write locks)
    - "multifollow" (poll(1) demo which run multiple "tail -f")
    - "shnote" (utility 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)
    - "svcproptree1" (SMF demo)
    - "test_net_sctp" (SCTP demo)
    - "shman" (early prototype of a /usr/bin/man rewrite)
    - "xmldocumenttree1" (XML parser demo)
    ... and much more...


** Major changes since the 2008-06-17 release:
    - Fixed and re-enabled the "multiline" input mode
      per community requests
    - Updated demo code (mainly the /usr/bin/man-rewrite
      proof-of-concept demo "shman.sh")


** Install instructions:

 1. Download the tarball:
      + i386/AMD64:
http://www.opensolaris.org/os/project/ksh93-integration/downloads/ksh93_integration_20080624_snapshot_i386.tar.bz2
  + SPARC:
http://www.opensolaris.org/os/project/ksh93-integration/downloads/ksh93_integration_20080624_snapshot_sparc.tar.bz2
  2. Verify the MD5 checksum:
      + i386/AMD64: MD5
        (ksh93_integration_20080624_snapshot_i386.tar.bz2)=
        e8d8a25ae9121a087a9a1ee9840bff40
      + SPARC: MD5
        (ksh93_integration_20080624_snapshot_sparc.tar.bz2)=
        7903cfdfb3ec2f43b355aab1cbc18123
 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_20080624_snapshot_i386.tar.bz2
  $ /usr/sfw/bin/openssl md5
ksh93_integration_20080624_snapshot_i386.tar.bz2
  MD5(ksh93_integration_20080624_snapshot_i386.tar.bz2)=
e8d8a25ae9121a087a9a1ee9840bff40
  # cd /
  # sync ; sync
  # bzcat </tmp/ksh93_integration_20080624_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_20080624_snapshot_sparc.tar.bz2
  $ /usr/sfw/bin/openssl md5
ksh93_integration_20080624_snapshot_sparc.tar.bz2
  MD5(ksh93_integration_20080624_snapshot_sparc.tar.bz2)=
7903cfdfb3ec2f43b355aab1cbc18123
  # cd /
  # sync ; sync
  # bzcat </tmp/ksh93_integration_20080624_snapshot_sparc.tar.bz2 | \
    tar -xvof -
  # sync ; sync


** Notes:

  * This tarball matches ksh93t- (=ast-ksh.2008-06-14) with many
    many changes since the last version. Please test the binaries
    extensively.
  * The binaries now are build from a B84-based tree and require
    SXCR B84 or higher
  * Sources/diffs/webrevs:
      + The diffs between Solaris Nevada B84 and the current
        ksh93-integration tree can be obtained via
        svn diff -r 974:1134 svn://svn.genunix.org/on/branches/
        ksh93/gisburn/prototype011/usr
        or as unified diff (4.5MB, MD5 checksum is
        135b9b3bc07abd62393e007d9e4eec5c).
  * "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.
  * The tarball was created using the
    build_ksh93_standalone_tarball.sh script which is available in
    the usr/-directory of the prototype011 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 1134
svn://svn.genunix.org/on/branches/ksh93/gisburn/prototype011/usr
        $ bzcat <../download/on-closed-bins-nd-b84.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):
-- snip --

 # This is a variable for the rest of the script - GATE
 # doesn't matter to nightly itself

     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 test_x86/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
