Changelog
mksh (39.3.20110328-2) unstable; urgency=high
* Turns out running history-subst-4 on the buildds is a bad idea…
revert, and just live with the bug on hppa for now
* Urgency as this fixes FTBFS from 39.3.20110328-1 which was high
mksh (39.3.20110328-1) unstable; urgency=high
* Back out dietlibc [hppa] dependency on experimental package
to be able to upload to unstable
* New CVS snapshot fixing all known regressions from the
recent experimental changes, as well as some more fallout:
- [tg] Fix mis-detection of gcc format attribute (false negative)
- [tg] Include some Android specific hacks (no change on other OEs)
- [tg, Jb_boin] In ${foo/bar/baz} expressions, when adjourning empty
patterns to avoid running into a busy-wait loop, remember to skip
the anchor characters (‘#’ or ‘%’) at the beginning, yet keep the
special meaning replacing a string begin or end with a string has
- [tg] Write a pattern optimiser that is run internally before calls
to the pattern matching code always (currently, replaces a@(b@(c)d)e
with abcde but keeps @(a|a), then (in a second pass) collapses
adjacent asterisk (‘*’) wildcards into a single one; this fixes some
of the symptoms of severe performance issues our pattern matching code
has to the extent that it can prevent busy-looping (found by Jb_boin)
- [tg, Chris “ironhead” Sutcliffe, Chet Ramey, Eric Blake, David Korn]
Handle pathnames with exactly two leading slashes well (SUSv4 3.266)
- [tg, Wayne Pollock, Bart Schaefer] Fix here documents, add testcases
- [tg] Fix corner case ${##1}, add tests for that and ${##} and ${#?}
- [tg] Bring back “test -H” ifdef S_ISCDF (for HP-UX) from pdksh
- [tg] Align read-only variable behaviour with (future) POSIX
- [tg] Permit ${foo%(*} on FSH (Debian Closes: #619947)
- [tg, rsc] Allow skipping testcases that need a controlling tty
* High urgency because the fix for ${foo%(*} is required since without
it, keyboard-configuration=1.68+squeeze2 can fail to configure
* Copy history-subst-4 to mtest.t to ensure hppa mksh-static is usable
* Tweak build process to prevent more redundant checks
* On unattended Hurd builds, skip testcases that need a controlling tty
mksh (39.3.20110313-1) experimental; urgency=medium
* New CVS snapshot:
- [tg] Use the existing state machine, a recursive parser and retracing
the input stream for correct x=(…$((…$(…)…))…) parsing
- [tg, Jb_boin] complain about ${x:1:2:3} instead of crashing
- [tg, Jb_boin] make optional printf(1) builtin __CRAZY=Yes clean and
prevent it from crashing by reading past end of (invalid) format strings
- [tg] abort(3) on rogue pointers #ifdef DEBUG
- [tg] Correct some documentation, code commentary, etc.
- [tg] Handle the UTF-8 Byte Order Mark in $(…) expressions
- [tg] Speed up reading input by checking for the BOM only once
* Urgency due to crash (SIGSEGV, glibc-malloc corruption) fixes
mksh (39.3.20110308-2) experimental; urgency=low
* Update architecture list for dietlibc (in experimental)
* Depend on fixed hppa dietlibc (from experimental)
mksh (39.3.20110308-1) experimental; urgency=low
* Fix build warnings
* Add mtest-ascii1 to catch an unclear dietlibc bug on mips, powerpc
* New CVS snapshot:
- [tg] Port to MiNT / FreeMiNT (Atari m68k operating system)
- [tg] Do not close filedescriptor #3 (controlling tty) on UWIN
- [tg] Make the tree printing code safe for re-entrancy of output
- [tg] Implement recursive parser for $(…) to fix RedHat BZ#496791
- Note that MKSH_NOPROSPECTOFWORK disables |& (co-processes)
* Upload to experimental (happy birthday, you three)
mksh (39.3.20110218-3) unstable; urgency=medium
* Fix build when GNU bash in /bin/sh (still no idea _why_ though)
mksh (39.3.20110218-2) unstable; urgency=medium
* When cross-compiling (DEB_{BUILD,HOST}_GNU_TYPE not the same)
set mksh-firstbuilt to avoid “testing” non-native executables
* mksh can do Multi-Arch: foreign as requested by vorlon
* Install build information (actual compiler, flags, regression
testsuite results, etc.) and regression testsuite as documen‐
tation files (append build info to README.Debian)
* Fix bug which resulted in always trying to build with combine
* README.Debian: /bin/mksh-static can be /bin/sh too
* README.Debian: Add notes about expected testsuite failures
mksh (39.3.20110218-1) unstable; urgency=low
* New CVS snapshot:
- [tg] Limit history file size to 1 GiB for sanity
- [tg] Add smores, a more(1)-like pager, as shell function to
dot.mkshrc (not control character safe but tty aware)
- [tg, David Korn] Make builtins directly callable; utf8-mode is
determined by LC_ALL/LC_CTYPE/LANG environment variables in that case
- [tg] If the interactive shell uses setlocale(3)/nl_langinfo(3)
to divine utf8-mode, fall back to environment variables unless success
- [tg] When called as a builtin, echo(1) behaves POSIXish
- [tg] Replace some MirBSD utilities with links to mksh(1) and ensure
some integration to keep compatibility
- [tg] Add a microsecond capable sleep(1) builtin
- [tg] Add selftest-direct-builtin-call regression test
- [tg] If the built-in cat is invoked from a direct builtin call, it
now properly handles the POSIXly demanded ‘-u’ option (as a no-op)
- [tg] Support the PIPESTATUS array (like GNU bash)
* Rewrite packaging to automatically test for usable libraries
(klibc (not yet) or dietlibc, fallback to eglibc) for mksh-static
and better test whether the binaries built against them is usable
* Try dietlibc on PowerPC, S/390, sparc again (we test the binary)
* Bring back basic klibc support (can be enabled by DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS)
mksh (39.3.20110209-1) unstable; urgency=low
* New CVS snapshot:
- [tg, Jörg-Volker Peetz] Emacs prev-hist-word resets the counter
if other editing commands were run in between; repeat calling
works, even together with arguments, now; arguments are 0-based
(Debian Closes: #603801) – now for real ☻☺
- [tg] Fix mis-sign comparision and potential truncation error
* Support $debian_chroot in /etc/skel/.mkshrc (template)
mksh (39.3.20110203-1) unstable; urgency=low
* New CVS snapshot:
- [tg] More int → bool conversion, whitespace and related code cleanup,
error messages and typo correction
- [tg] Don’t alias suspend on Android either (goes together with stop)
- [tg] dot.mkshrc no longer exports $PS1, as recommended by Frank Terbeck,
to avoid confusing other shells
- [tg] The character width table is now in sync with Unicode 6.0.0
- [tg] MKSH_SMALL doesn’t imply HAVE_REVOKE=0 any longer
- [tg] Ignore a ‘$’ preceding ‘"…"’ (like bash, ksh93)
- [tg] Make “foo=<<EOF” a direct assignment of here document (or here
string) to string variable
- [tg] Add KSHEGID, KSHGID, KSHUID variables (idea from Richard K.)
- [tg] Option -d to read specifies a delimiter, like ksh93 (10x Dave)
- [tg] Extension ${foo@#} expands to hash of $foo (mksh specific)
- [tg] Emacs prev-hist-word now resets the counter if other functions
were called in between (Debian Closes: #603801)
- [tg] Introduce MKSH_NOPROSPECTOFWORK which implies MKSH_UNEMPLOYED
and additionally disables job signals, sigprocmask(2), etc.
- [tg] POSIX: trap 'echo foo' UNKNOWN is not a syntax error
- [tg] Do not use <sys/file.h> unless it exists
- [tg] dot.mkshrc: When we set a UTF-8 locale (e.g. for the GNU OS),
we must also set -o utf8-mode to match it
- [tg] Don’t append a space after tab-completing a parameter substi-
tution that doesn’t contain a glob/extglob (LP: #710539)
* add RCS IDs into more files
* d/README.Debian: be more explicit about mksh-as-/bin/sh and
mention we wait on klibc, to use it with mksh-static
* d/control: add note on dietlibc B-D, which can be dropped
e.g. if porting to Derivates that don’t have it, like UCS
* d/control: update long description
* d/copyright, d/rules: we use debian/rules get-orig-source" now
* d/copyright: sync, 2011
* d/rules: restructure a bit; add build-{indep,arch} targets
* d/rules, d/x_getflag: use dpkg-buildflags if existent
* d/po/it.po: update translation, grazie TetsuyO!
* run debconf-updatepo
