2008-11-23Update shells/oshreed1-5/+5
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.

as shells/osh. Osh is a re-implementation of the old and obsolete shell version, which was in standard use up to UNIX 6th Edition and was supplied as osh with UNIX 7th Edition. Its command language is a sparse subset of those of modern shells and is mostly common both to sh(1) and csh(1). This pkgsrc entry is based on the FreeBSD ports entry for osh.
