2007-11-05: ksh93 update tarballs for OpenSolaris

These tarballs are intended to be installed over an existing OpenSolaris ≥ B72 i386 or SPARC installation and provide ksh93s+_20071101 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_20071105_snapshot_i386.tar.bz2 (list files)
   1* SPARC: ksh93_integration_20071105_snapshot_sparc.tar.bz2 (list files)
2. Verify the MD5 checksum:
   1* i386/AMD64: MD5(ksh93_integration_20071105_snapshot_i386.tar.bz2)= 86820df14a8931706a7d6200dc41a889
   1* SPARC: MD5(ksh93_integration_20071105_snapshot_sparc.tar.bz2)= 396b9e135789c6c5c206547242dca842
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_20071105_snapshot_i386.tar.bz2
  $ /usr/sfw/bin/openssl md5 ksh93_integration_20071105_snapshot_i386.tar.bz2
  MD5(ksh93_integration_20071105_snapshot_i386.tar.bz2)= 86820df14a8931706a7d6200dc41a889
  # cd /
  # sync ; sync
  # bzcat </tmp/ksh93_integration_20071105_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_20071105_snapshot_sparc.tar.bz2
  $ /usr/sfw/bin/openssl md5 ksh93_integration_20071105_snapshot_sparc.tar.bz2
  MD5(ksh93_integration_20071105_snapshot_sparc.tar.bz2)= 396b9e135789c6c5c206547242dca842
  # cd /
  # sync ; sync
  # bzcat </tmp/ksh93_integration_20071105_snapshot_sparc.tar.bz2 | tar -xvof -
  # sync ; sync

Notes:

• This tarball matches ksh93s+ (=ast-ksh.2007-11-01) 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 866:894 svn://svn.genunix.org/on/branches/ksh93/gisburn/prototype010/usr
    
     or as unified diff (3MB, MD5 checksum is c6590f068ff81cb08a7d7d3fbbac4756).
• "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>>Project ksh93-integration.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 #):

• 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 894 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):

• 1. 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 #
  2. 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
