./
shells/rc,
Unix incarnation of the plan9 shell
Branch: CURRENT,
Version: 1.7.4,
Package name: rc-1.7.4,
Maintainer: pkgsrc-usersrc - a unix version of the Plan-9 Shell.
FEEPING CREATURISM
See the end of the man page, under "INCOMPATIBILITIES" for (known?)
differences from the "real" rc. Most of these changes were necessary
to get rc to work in a reasonable fashion on a real (i.e., commercial,
non-Labs) UNIX system; a few were changes motivated by concern
about some inadequacies in the original design.
CREDITS
This shell was written by Byron Rakitzis, but kudos go to Paul
Haahr for letting me know what a shell should do and for contributing
certain bits and pieces to rc (notably the limits code, print.c,
most of which.c and the backquote redirection code).
Required to build:[

Log message:
Update rc to 1.7.4, also fixing a really old CVE in the process.
2002-07-25
Bug: fix globbing of broken symlinks.
2002-07-31
Bug: readline doesn't handle EIO either.
2002-08-15
Bug: variables that are sometimes exported (i.e. $prompt and
$version) need to be made exportable if they are inherited from the
environment.
Portability: don't call sigaction() for SIGKILL or SIGSTOP; don't
hand a garbage signal mask to sigaction() (thanks Jeremy
Fitzhardinge). Also, remove use of SA_INTERRUPT (SUSv3, BSD,
etc. have SA_RESTART with the inverted meaning).
2002-08-20
Bug: don't call ealloc(0) on systems where getgroups() doesn't
return egid (thanks Chris Siebenmann).
2002-11-27
Bug: history dumps core if more colons than substitutions (thanks
Callum Gibson); history fails to avoid itself if it's the only
command; history writes and reads outside allocated memory.
Configuration: upgrade to autoconf-2.56 and automake-1.7.1.
2003-07-17
Testing: remove test for large file support, as it causes
indigestion on file systems that don't support sparse files (thanks
Scott Schwartz).
2003-07-22
Release: rc-1.7.1.
2003-09-24
Tidiness: minor improvements to input.c.
2014-02-26
Bug: fix for CVE-2014-1936 from Jakub Wilk.
2014-06-29
Documentation: update email and web addresses.
2014-08-31
Feature: support quoting for filename completion in GNU readline.
2014-09-01
Bug: quoting of glob characters was broken (thanks Christian
Neukirchen); fix the "sneaky parens" bug properly (thanks Wolfgang
Zekoll).
Feature: allow $"x as a synonym for $^x
Release: rc-1.7.2.
2015-04-03
Packaging: the rc.spec file was very out-of-date.
2015-04-04
Portability: the comment from 1999-08-19 may well have been true at
the time, but the final version of the C99 standard called varargs
copying macro va_copy().
2015-04-07
Portability: look in -ltinfo for tgetent.
Packaging: various autoconf / automake updates and tweaks.
2015-04-14
Bug: in initinput(), the call ugchar(EOF) used the ungetcount member
of the top Input structure without initializing it. Thanks to Jeff
Johnson for finding this, Robert Scheck for reporting it, and Uli
Drepper for implementing MALLOC_PERTURB_, a cheap way to find uses of
uninitialized memory.
2015-04-18
Licensing: tweaked to match exactly the "zlib with acknowledgement"
license which is used by nunit and is already approved by various
distros.
2015-04-20
Release: rc-1.7.3.
2015-05-12
Licensing: due to GPL compatibility concerns, the license is changed
again to the "zlib" license. (N.B. This license change was agreed and
approved by Byron Rakitzis, who is the copyright holder.)
Testing: swap arguments to mktemp to be kinder to NetBSD (thanks Piotr
Meyer).
2015-05-13
Release: rc-1.7.4.
