2007-07-14: ksh93 add-on tarballs for OpenSolaris

These tarballs are intended to be installed over an existing OpenSolaris i386 or SPARC installation and provide ksh93s+_20070418 for testing and evaluation purposed ONLY.Please report any problems/errors/bugs/comments to the ksh93-integration project bugzilla or the ksh93-integration mailinglist (please subscribe before posting).

Install instructions:

1. Download the tarball:
   1* i386/AMD64: ksh93_integration_20070714_snapshot_i386.tar.bz2 (list files)
   1* SPARC: ksh93_integration_20070714_snapshot_sparc.tar.bz2 (list files)
2. Verify the MD5 checksum:
   1* i386/AMD64: MD5(ksh93_integration_20070714_snapshot_i386.tar.bz2)= cab10e4b10eebcf753da462a79bb69c9
   1* SPARC: MD5(ksh93_integration_20070714_snapshot_sparc.tar.bz2)= 003e62591c137cdd46e022baa6bc8f9c
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_20070714_snapshot_i386.tar.bz2
  $ /usr/sfw/bin/openssl md5 ksh93_integration_20070714_snapshot_i386.tar.bz2
  MD5(ksh93_integration_20070714_snapshot_i386.tar.bz2)= cab10e4b10eebcf753da462a79bb69c9
  # cd /
  # sync ; sync
  # bzcat </tmp/ksh93_integration_20070714_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_20070714_snapshot_sparc.tar.bz2
  $ /usr/sfw/bin/openssl md5 ksh93_integration_20070714_snapshot_sparc.tar.bz2
  MD5(ksh93_integration_20070714_snapshot_sparc.tar.bz2)= 003e62591c137cdd46e022baa6bc8f9c
  # cd /
  # sync ; sync
  # bzcat </tmp/ksh93_integration_20070714_snapshot_sparc.tar.bz2 | tar -xvof -
  # sync ; sync

Notes:

• This tarball matches ksh93s+ (=ast-ksh.2007-04-18) with many many changes since the last version. Please test the binaries extensively.
• The binaries now are build from a B61-based tree and require SXCR B61 or higher
• Sources/diffs/webrevs:
  • The diffs between Solaris Nevada B61 and the current ksh93-integration tree can be obtained via
    svn diff -r 676:740 svn://svn.genunix.org/on/branches/ksh93/gisburn/prototype005/usr
     or as unified diff (12MB, MD5 checksum is b17d17508b056ccb5698847258ad9d74).
  • Alternatively webrev pages (for code review) are available in various flavors:

• All changes+diffs+sources
• Only Makefile changes+diffs+sources
• Only non-AST/ksh93 changes+diffs+sources
• Only AST/ksh93-specific changes+diffs+sources

• 64bit binaries and libraries are now included (and used by default if the hardware is 64bit capable)
• 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.
• <esc><ctrl-l> was added to emacs/gmacs mode to clear the screen (per community requests and to be in sync with bash)
• 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 usr/src/lib/libc/port/gen/getusershell.c | egrep '.*".*/(bin|sbin)/.*".*' | sed 's/[",]//g' | sort -u #):

• 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 B61 proto/ subdir via collecting the files listed by $ find $ROOT '!' -type d | sed 's/.*\/root_sparc\///' | egrep "/(lib|llib-l)(cmd|ast|shell|dll|pp)|/(ksh|rksh|pfksh)|include/ast|usr/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.
• 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 740 svn://svn.genunix.org/on/branches/ksh93/gisburn/prototype005/usr $ bzcat <../download/on-closed-bins-nd-b61.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):
