[illumos-Developer] ksh93-integration update3 prototype webrev...

[Roland Mainz]

Hi!

----

Olga uploaded a ksh93-integration update3 webrev to
http://cr.opensolaris.org/~fleyta/on_posix_utility_update2_20100801_012/
a few days ago... can anyone please take a quick look, please ?

Notes:
- The "tr" replacement is part of the code but { /usr/bin/tr,
/usr/xpg4/bin/tr, /usr/xpg6/bin/tr } do not link to /usr/bin/alias
(our busybox-like wrapper) yet
- "od", "printf" and "tail" replacemnts are available via
/usr/bin/alias but not linked either
- "grep" still misses option "-r". This will be added in the next cycle.
- Our 'tr" replacement behaves like /usr/xpg[46]/bin/tr (except option
"-C" which still requires some work to get it a) working and b)
working with the same performance as the Solaris "tr"). For now we
don't try to emulate the old /usr/bin/tr because it had horrible
multibyte handling issues (or better: It has no working multibyte
support, the closest emulation would be to set LC_ALL='C' before using
it) and hope noone really tries to dissect strings with multibyte
characters at byte level with "tr".
- The putback provides the basis for getting "sed" and "pax" replaced
but this is not part of this putback (risk minimisation)

Bye,
Roland
