Branch: pkgsrc-2008Q1, Version: 33d, Package name: mksh-33d, Maintainer: pkgsrc-users

mksh is the MirBSD enhanced version of the Public Domain Korn shell
(pdksh), a Bourne-compatible shell which is largely similar to the
original AT&T Korn shell. It includes bug fixes and feature improvements
in order to produce a modern, robust shell good for interactive and
especially script use.

   Log message:
   Update to R33d:

   No changes in mksh R33c except for Ultrix support. None in R33d.

   In mksh R33b, much more compilers are detected, even if not all of
   them are supported. The OE (OS and CC/LD) versions are now dumped
   too. Instead of #error, forced link failures are now used as the
   mechanism to auto-detect some things in the target environment.
   Features are now much better detected, and some annoying warnings
   don't show up any longer due to this.  Less tools are required to
   build.

   Please be reminded that you should run ./test.sh -v inside an
   environment with /dev/tty available (as device node) and usable
   (e.g. use script(1) or GNU screen if you're doing auto-builds
   detached from controlling terminal). Use -v to see failures.

   No surprises in mksh R33 either, but the build system now gives
   more detailed output on the version actually built, to aid tracking
   down FTBFSen (build errors) with access to only the build logs.
   Regression tests now work with Intel's compiler on SLES too, which
   requires a custom LD_LIBRARY_PATH formerly stripped by the script.
