New features with AN-2014-04-22:
This is the first localization step for the schily source consolidation. Many
programs now (hopefully) call gettext() for all strings that need localization.
- The next step will include dgettext() calls for the libraries and the
missing programs
- The following step will include the extracted strings
- The last step will include German translations and install support
for the resulting binary message object files.
----------> Please test and report compilation problems! <---------
***** NOTE: As mentioned since 2004, frontends to the tools should *****
***** call all programs in the "C" locale *****
***** by e.g. calling: LC_ALL=C cdrecord .... *****
***** unless these frontends support localized strings *****
***** used by the cdrtools with NLS support. *****
*** WARNING ***
*** Need new smake ***
*** Due to the fact that 2014-04-03 introduced to use new macro
*** expansions and a related bug fix in smake, you need a new smake
*** to compile this source. To ensure this, call:
cd ./psmake
./MAKE-all
cd ..
psmake/smake
psmake/smake install
- i86pc-sunos5-clang.rul now contains a working set of options
to create shared libraries using clang.
- New symlink RULES/x86_64-linux-clang.rul to support non
automake-enabled make programs like gmake.
- ~/.termcap has been updated in ved/dotfiles.tar.bz2 to match the
~/.termcap file in bsh/dotfiles.tar.bz2
- ved/map.c updated to the same version that is used by bsh
- libschily/fstream.c now supports local flags (for the caller)
and pushable streams to keep blocks of pushed text atomically.
- Fixed a typo in the online help from bsh::alias
- bsh now correctly handles begin aliases even when they appear after
a leading I/O directive.
- bsh now handles begin aliases that end in space or TAB and re-enables
begin aliases for the text that is read after the alias replacement
text has been consumed.
- bsh now correctly handles "$@" as "$1" "$2" ...
- .globals in bsh/dotfiles.tar.bz2 has been updated to match the new alias
rules that are common to the bsh and the Bourne Shell
- bsh now also sets PWD= when changing a directory. Previously, only CWD=
was updated, but Bourne Shell compatibility needs PWD=
- The previous bsh option -o has been renamed to "-noclose".
- bsh now supports the option -o in a way that is compatible to ksh and the
Bourne Shell
- bsh now supports the option -o aliasowner=user as the Bourne Shell does.
This allows to set up a common su alias for both bsh and sh:
alias 'su=su $SHELL -o aliasowner=$LOGNAME'
to let the root shell use the aliases from the user that called su.
- A bug in the Bourne Shell that could cause the shell to die when calling
"set -o aliasowner" has been fixed.
- The Bourne now correctly handles begin aliases that end in space or TAB
and re-enables begin aliases for the text that is read after the alias
replacement text has been consumed.
- The Bourne Shell now correctly disables the "interactive" state while
reading the files /etc/sh.shrc and $HOME/.shrc
This is needed to have the right number of prompts when the history
editor is disabled.
- Add several new #ifdef's to the Bourne Shell to better tailor enhancements.
- A "new" variant of the Bourne Shell is available under the name "osh".
This version of the Bourne Shell is still highly portable as it includes
the conversion from sbrk() to malloc(), but it has been compiled in a way
that does not include the Schily enhancements.
- The history editor and the commands: history / map / savehistory
are disabled.
The editor is enabled with -DINTERACTIVE
- The alias support and the commands: alias / unalias
are disabled.
Aliases are anabled with -DDO_SYSALIAS
- Parsing commands like:
var2=val2 var1=val1 command....
is done in the unexpected reversed order for var2=val2 var1=val1
like on SVr4 and SunOS.
Historic behavior is enabled with -DARGS_RIGHT_TO_LEFT
- The builtin command: alloc
is not enabled.
The alloc builtin is enabled with -DDO_SYSALLOC
- The rcfiles /etc/sh.shrc and $HOME/.shrc
are not read. This also disables the special
meaning of the ENV= environment.
The shell rcfiles are enabled with -DDO_SHRCFILES
- The builtin command: repeat
is not enabled.
The repeat builtin is enabled with -DDO_SYSREPEAT
- The builtin command: dosh
is not enabled.
The dosh builtin is enabled with -DDO_SYSDOSH
- The builtin commands: pushd / popd / dirs and cd -
are not enabled.
The environment variable OLDPWD= is also disabled.
These builtins are enabled with -DDO_SYSPUSHD
- The support for the option -r in the builtin "read"
is not enabled.
Support for read -r is enabled with -DDO_READ_R
- The support for the option -o in the builtin "set"
is not enabled.
Support for set -o is enabled with -DDO_SET_O
- The support for the option -S in the builtin "umask"
is not enabled.
Support for umask -S is enabled with -DDO_UMASK_S
- The support for the POSIX "for i; do ... done" with
semicolon is not enabled.
Support for for i; do ... is enabled with -DDO_POSIX_FOR
- The bugfix for set -a; read VAR is not included and
environment variables defined by read are not exported.
Support for read -a; read VAR is enabled with -DDO_READ_ALLEXPORT
The following enhanced features of this Bourne Shell variant are
not disabled in the old shell mode:
-version/--version/-V is always available
pfexec implemented in the safe Schily variant
instead of the problematic Sun variant.
ulimit still also implements the -l -m -u
options
The SVR4.0 colon (null command) redirection bug is
always fixed
The var=none;echo ${var-'$'} SVr3 bug is always fixed
The "type" command with functions with case statements always
prints correct code.
The "times" output format is always POSIXly correct.
Reading/execcuting shell scripts never tries to catch a
directory with the name of the expected script.
