2009-08-22: ksh93-integration update 2 tarballs for OpenSolaris

These tarballs are intended to be installed over an existing OpenSolaris ≥ B110 i386 or SPARC installation and provide ksh93t_20090622_beta for testing and evaluation purposes 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:

Basic installation:

1. Download the tarball:
   1* i386/AMD64: ksh93_integration_20090822_snapshot_i386.tar.bz2 (list files)
   1* SPARC: ksh93_integration_20090822_snapshot_sparc.tar.bz2 (list files)
2. Verify the MD5 checksum:
   1* i386/AMD64: MD5(ksh93_integration_20090822_snapshot_i386.tar.bz2)= a0be4104332c4b4e7b2276e2c5ec5022
   1* SPARC: MD5(ksh93_integration_20090822_snapshot_sparc.tar.bz2)= 7e51d76427f2a033f721fef6a87531af
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
  $ /usr/sfw/bin/wget http://www.opensolaris.org/os/project/ksh93-integration/downloads/ksh93_integration_20090822_snapshot_i386.tar.bz2
  $ sum -x md5 ksh93_integration_20090822_snapshot_i386.tar.bz2
  a0be4104332c4b4e7b2276e2c5ec5022 ksh93_integration_20090822_snapshot_i386.tar.bz2
  # cd /
  # sync ; sync
  # bzcat </tmp/ksh93_integration_20090822_snapshot_i386.tar.bz2 | tar -xvof -
  # sync ; sync

Example for SPARC:

  $ cd /tmp
  $ /usr/sfw/bin/wget http://www.opensolaris.org/os/project/ksh93-integration/downloads/ksh93_integration_20090822_snapshot_sparc.tar.bz2
  $ sum -x md5 ksh93_integration_20090822_snapshot_sparc.tar.bz2
  7e51d76427f2a033f721fef6a87531af ksh93_integration_20090822_snapshot_sparc.tar.bz2
  # cd /
  # sync ; sync
  # bzcat </tmp/ksh93_integration_20090822_snapshot_sparc.tar.bz2 | tar -xvof -
  # sync ; sync

[OPTIONAL] Using ksh93 as /sbin/sh:

 After installation of the tarball the following steps will replace the original Bourne shell with ksh93: Example for i386/AMD64:

 # cp /usr/bin/i86/ksh93 /sbin/ksh93
 # [[ ! -f /sbin/bsh ]] && mv /sbin/sh /sbin/bsh || rm /sbin/sh
 # mv /sbin/ksh93 /sbin/sh
 # sync ; sync

Example for SPARC:

 # cp /usr/bin/sparcv7/ksh93 /sbin/ksh93
 # [[ ! -f /sbin/bsh ]] && mv /sbin/sh /sbin/bsh || rm /sbin/sh
 # mv /sbin/ksh93 /sbin/sh
 # sync ; sync

Notes:

• This tarball matches ksh93t+ (=ast-ksh.2009-06-22) with many many changes since the last version. Please test the binaries extensively.
• The following commands have been updated (or added) and now include common GNU+BSD+AST features:
  /usr/bin/bg, /usr/bin/cd, /usr/bin/cksum, /usr/bin/cmp, /usr/bin/comm, /usr/bin/command, /usr/bin/cut, /usr/bin/fc, /usr/bin/fg, /usr/bin/getopts, /usr/bin/hash, /usr/bin/head, /usr/bin/jobs, /usr/bin/join, /usr/bin/kill, /usr/bin/logname, /usr/bin/mkfifo, /usr/bin/paste, /usr/bin/print, /usr/bin/read, /usr/bin/rev, /usr/bin/sleep, /usr/bin/sum, /usr/bin/tail, /usr/bin/tee, /usr/bin/test, /usr/bin/type, /usr/bin/ulimit, /usr/bin/umask, /usr/bin/unalias, /usr/bin/uniq, /usr/bin/wait, /usr/bin/wc, /usr/xpg4/bin/tail
• The following list of bugs/RFEs will be fixed by these binaries:

• The binaries now are build from a B111-based tree and require SXCR B110 or higher
• Sources/diffs/webrevs:
  • The diffs between Solaris Nevada B111 and the current ksh93-integration tree can be obtained via...
    • ... Subversion:
      $ (mkdir svnexport_new ; cd svnexport_new ; svn export -r 1674 svn://svn.genunix.org/on/branches/ksh93/gisburn/prototype021/usr/src)
       $ (mkdir svnexport_old ; cd svnexport_old ; svn export svn://svn.genunix.org/on/tags/b111/usr/src)
       $ gdiff -r -u -N svnexport_old/src svnexport_new/src | sed 's/svnexport_new\///g;s/svnexport_old\///g' >svn_genunix_org_on_branches_ksh93_gisburn_prototype021_rev_b111_1674.diff.txt 
    • ... unified diff (2.25MB, MD5 checksum is 54fd9eba704d537531d979a0010f287d).
    • ... Mercurial/HG export bundle (212KB, MD5 checksum is 2b0577a78aa91a3cdc15705b6c6fd94e)
  • Alternatively webrev pages are available.
• "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 ~30 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.
• The tarball was created using the build_ksh93_standalone_tarball.sh script which is available in the base directory of the prototype021 tree.
   Note: The script can only be used after a successfull $ cd usr/src ; (cd tools ; make install) ; 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 1674 svn://svn.genunix.org/on/branches/ksh93/gisburn/prototype021/usr
      $ bzcat <../download/on-closed-bins-nd.i386.tar.bz2 | tar -xf -
      $ bzcat <../download/on-closed-bins.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):

  2. Build it (the quick way):
      $ cd prototype021/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
