./shells/bash, The GNU Bourne Again Shell

[ CVSweb ] [ Homepage ] [ RSS ] [ Required by ] [ Add to tracker ]


Branch: CURRENT, Version: 5.2.37, Package name: bash-5.2.37, Maintainer: pkgsrc-users

Bash is an sh-compatible shell that incorporates useful features from
the Korn shell (ksh) and C shell (csh). It is intended to conform to
the IEEE POSIX P1003.2/ISO 9945.2 Shell and Tools standard.

It offers functional improvements over sh for both programming and
interactive use; these include command line editing, unlimited size
command history, job control, shell functions and aliases, indexed
arrays of unlimited size, and integer arithmetic in any base from two
to sixty-four. In addition, most sh scripts can be run by Bash without
modification.

Log message:
Remove patches/patch-examples_loadables_fdflags.c

That may have once been needed, but all the patch does is add

#ifdef O_CLOEXEC
#endif

at various places ... in a file which earlier (now) has

#ifndef O_CLOEXEC
#define O_CLOEXEC ...
#endif

such that added #ifdef can never fail to be true, and hence is
never needed.

No revbump is needed for this, as the resluting package will be
in every respect (aside from debigging source code line numbers)
identical to the earlier one ... but if you like, consider this
riding the immediately preceding version bump from 5.2.21nb1 to 5.2.26

Log message:
Upgrade bash from 5.2.21nb1 to 5.2.26

Patch 22: It's possible for readline to try to zero out a line that's
	not null-terminated, leading to a memory fault.

Patch 23: Running `local -' multiple times in a shell function would
	overwrite the original saved set of options.

Patsh 24: Fix bug where associative array compound assignment would
	not expand tildes in values.

Patch 25: Make sure a subshell checks for and handles any terminating
	signals before exiting (which might have arrived after the
	command completed) so the parent and any EXIT trap will see
	the correct value for $?.

Patch 26: The custom color prefix that readline uses to color possible
	completions must have a leading `.'.

bash: Extend patch for legacy platforms with more special-cases for getconf.

Log message:
Update bash from 5.2.15 to 5.2.21 (6 new patches)

16: If an expression in an arithmetic for loop expands to NULL, the shell
    would crash.
17: In certain cases, using the `.' builtin in a subshell would optimize away
    the rest of the commands in the subshell.
18: Fix two problems with returning tokens to yyparse() when the shell
    encounters a syntax error or when it reads EOF.
19: Don't reset the terminal process group when it wasn't altered initially.
20: The parser did not allow `time' to appear as the first reserved word in a
    command substitution.
21: Fix an off-by-one error that causes command substitutions to fail when
    they appear in a word expansion inside a here-document.
