2006-08-05: ksh93 add-on tarballs for OpenSolaris

These tarballs are intended to be installed over an existing OpenSolaris i386 or SPARC installation and provide ksh93r+_alpha_20060724 for testing and evaluation purposed ONLY.

Please report any problems/errors/bugs/comments to the ksh93-integration mailinglist (please subscribe before posting).

Install instructions:

1. Download the tarball:
   1* i386/AMD64: ksh93_integration_20060805_snapshot_i386.tar.bz2 (list files)
   1* SPARC: ksh93_integration_20060805_snapshot_sparc.tar.bz2 (list files)
2. Verify the Md5 checksum:
   1* i386/AMD64: MD5(ksh93_integration_20060805_snapshot_i386.tar.bz2)= 37ec2c4ae6c4ac8815b0eb6dff8e541f
   1* SPARC: MD5(ksh93_integration_20060805_snapshot_sparc.tar.bz2)= 148e8daf69ca5e9822777b9ce77f6353
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_20060805_snapshot_i386.tar.bz2
  % /usr/sfw/bin/openssl md5 ksh93_integration_20060805_snapshot_i386.tar.bz2
  MD5(ksh93_integration_20060805_snapshot_i386.tar.bz2)= 37ec2c4ae6c4ac8815b0eb6dff8e541f
  % cd /
  % sync ; sync
  % bzcat /tmp/ksh93_integration_20060805_snapshot_i386.tar.bz2 | tar -xvof -

Example for SPARC:

  % cd /tmp
  % wget http://www.opensolaris.org/os/project/ksh93-integration/downloads/ksh93_integration_20060805_snapshot_sparc.tar.bz2
  % /usr/sfw/bin/openssl md5 ksh93_integration_20060805_snapshot_sparc.tar.bz2
  MD5(ksh93_integration_20060805_snapshot_sparc.tar.bz2)= 148e8daf69ca5e9822777b9ce77f6353
  % cd /
  % sync ; sync
  % bzcat /tmp/ksh93_integration_20060805_snapshot_sparc.tar.bz2 | tar -xvof -

Notes:

• libcmd.so is replaced with a version which includes the ksh93 builtin commands
• The tarball was simply created from an OS/Net B37 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|krsh|rksh|pfksh)|include/ast" | egrep -v cmdutils
• The tarballs do not provide a manual page for ksh93. Please use the manual page for ksh93r in the meantime.
• 64bit binaries will be shipped with a later version
