./shells/mksh, MirBSD Korn Shell
[
Branch: CURRENT, Version: 59bnb4, Package name: mksh-59bnb4, 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; mksh is the only pdksh derivate currently being actively developed.
It includes bug fixes and feature improvements, in order to produce a modern,
robust shell good for interactive and especially script use.
The code has been thoroughly cleaned up and simplified, bugs fixed, standards
compliance added, and several enhancements (for extended compatibility to other
modern shells, as well as a couple of its own) have been placed. mksh has UTF-8
support (e.g. in the emacs editing mode).
Required to build:
[pkgtools/cwrappers]

Log message: mksh: Remove defer-always flag from printf. Previously this deferred to a printf binary if one was found in $PATH, which completely defeats the point of using the builtin for performance reasons. We always create a printf wrapper so one was always found. A nasty side-effect of this was that with TOOLS_PLATFORM.printf=printf we would end up in a recursive loop. Now printf will always use the builtin. Bump PKGREVISION. |

Log message: mksh: Pull in the printf(1) builtin from MirBSD. Note that we are specifically using -r1.21 as newer versions do not build. This improves performance on systems that use mksh as the bootstrap shell, due to widespread use of printf in the pkgsrc infrastructure that previously had to fork /usr/bin/printf. Tested on macOS and SmartOS. Bump PKGREVISION. |
