Update shells/osh
Add new maintainer. Thank you J.A.
The following is from PR #40006:
I would like to maintain this package if that is acceptable.
Thus, I added myself as MAINTAINER.
Changed files: DESCR, Makefile, PLIST, distinfo
Changes between osh-20080629 and osh-20081122 which affect the osh
package on the various pkgsrc platforms are described below.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
[osh-20081122]:
mkconfig:
* Added a case for DragonFly BSD (uname -s == DragonFly).
osh.c:
* Fixed a bug introduced in osh-20061230 where the shell
incorrectly handles an unescaped terminating backslash (\)
character at the end of string when the shell is invoked as
`osh -c string'. In this case, the terminating backslash
causes the shell to incorrectly read from the standard input
at the end of string.
For example:
% osh -c 'echo Hello\'
to\
you!
Hello to you!
This example should instead do nothing and exit w/ a zero
status. For `osh -c string', an unescaped terminating
backslash should effectively turn string into a no-op.
Now, it behaves as expected.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
[osh-20081026]:
Makefile:
* Changed the "oshall" target to only build osh since the fd2,
goto, and if utilities are now built into the shell.
* Changed the "install-oshall" target to only install osh and
its manual pages. This includes the fd2.1, goto.1, and if.1
manual pages since they are not fully documented elsewhere.
osh.c:
* Renamed cmd_index() to cmd_lookup(), and changed the algorithm
from a linear search to a binary search.
* Added a base reallocation multiplier to glob() to reduce the
number of realloc()s required for very large argument vectors
while allowing the first malloc() to be a relatively small
allocation for up to 126 matching file-name arguments.
util.c:
* This is a new file for the integrated shell utilities.
* Added a new `-e' command-line option to fd2 to simplify
redirecting all conventional output to the standard error
as diagnostic output.
* Integrated the external `fd2', `goto', and `if' shell
utilities as special built-in commands to improve shell
performance. Also, added `echo' as a special built-in
command. Osh executes each of these built-ins in a subshell.
Consequently, the I/O for each can be redirected as before,
and the argument list for each can be the result of a call to
glob() as before.
