Changelog
mksh (46-2ubuntu1) saucy; urgency=low
* Merge from Debian, Remaining changes:
- Do not build-depend on dietlibc, which is not in main.
mksh (46-2) unstable; urgency=low
* The “Universal OS – freedom of choice” upload
* Update to latest upstream CVS HEAD; changes:
- [tg] Do not accidentally remove lksh.1 for in-srcdir builds
- [tg] Fix post-build non-‘-Q’ output for lksh
- [tg] Silence some configure-time warnings for clang-3.2 and GCC
* Prepare lksh for being used as /bin/sh (with printf builtin);
put into NEWS.Debian instruction to change the symlink
* Drop printf builtin from mksh and mksh-static (they can still
be used as /bin/sh but that brings back #532324; cf. #539158)
* Update README.Debian and package Description accordingly
* Write a message to buildd admins, to keep the chroot up-to-date
(and remind them of the /dev/tty and /dev/ptmx necessities),
to the build log
* Make the localedef failure warning message more clear
mksh (46-1) unstable; urgency=low
* The “Omas” upload
* Update to latest upstream stable release; changes:
- [tg] dot.mkshrc: prevent lksh from running it
- [tg] Add the lksh manual page to the mksh distribution
- [tg] Make both lksh and mksh interpret numbers with a leading
digit zero (‘0’) as octal precisely iff “set -o posix” is active
- [tg] Point out the octal digit and the integer arithmetic differences
from POSuX verbosely in the manual pages (point people who need
octals to “set -o posix” and who need longs to lksh) and elaborate
on the horrors of ISO C Undefined Behaviour which is allowed to
delete all your data
- [tg] Unbreak “set -o” (list flags) in lksh on LP64 machines
- [tg] Implement Emacs mode PgUp as Vi insert mode Cur↑ for Yofuh
- [tg] Allow setting both “set -o sh” and “set -o posix”, if done in the
same command; shuffle around compatibility levels (mksh/lksh, with
-o sh, with -o posix) again; permit a /bin/sh to set either or both
- [tg] Sync lksh manual page with the exact code ifdefs
- [tg] Change more use of signed integer to use unsigned instead
- [tg] Implement “set -o pipefail” like AT&T ksh93 and GNU bash do
- [tg] dot.mkshrc: provide hd(1) in Pure mksh™ for fallback
- [tg] Implement VALSUBs (value substitutions): ${|REPLY=foo;}
* Let /bin/sh use both -o posix and -o sh for better standards compliance
* Improve README.Debian
mksh (45-1) unstable; urgency=low
* New upstream stable release; changes:
- [tg] Make “set -x” print the commands run in escaped form
- [tg] PS4 in dot.mkshrc is now timestamped
- [tg] The &> GNU bash I/O redir is no longer parsed in -o posix,
-o sh modes, lksh (breaks valid scripts)
- [tg] Implement ${ …;} more efficiently (deleted-open files)
- [tg] For shf, %#s (if you can get it past GCC’s printf format attribute)
calls print_value_quoted, ignoring field width and precision
- [tg] Catch “typeset =” (regression) with better error message
- [tg, Tonnerre Lombard] add “doch” alias to dot.mkshrc which just repeats
the last input line with sudo(8)
- [tg] Use unsigned integers for all calculations, to avoid ISO C
“Undefined Behaviour” (and implementation-defined behaviour) throughout
(most of) the code; emulate signed integer arithmetics using unsigned;
not-lksh only
- [tg] Emulate signed modulo naïvely, for correct sign of the result
- [tg] Add <<< and >>> for ROL and ROR (rotate left and right,
respectively) operations, <<<= and >>> assignments; bitwise AND the RHS
of a shift/rotate op with 31 (not for lksh)
- [tg] Remove a warning by working around a workaround found in dietlibc
which works around a bug in broken software such as GNU tar (really!)
- [tg] Correct and simplify list and categorisation of built-in commands
as POSIX special and “everything else” plus a flag to keep assignments
- [tg] Handle ((foo)) as “let]” internally to avoid a conflict with user-
defined functions called let (LP#1156707)
- [tg] Clean up the code
* Upload to unstable
