Changelog
mksh (36.2-1) unstable; urgency=low
* Reword package description, avoid things not of interest to
a Debian user; Closes: #505882
* Switch from patching copyright to merely prepending information
* Remove all patches, as they have been integrated upstream; add
‘-DMKSH_BINSHREDUCED’ to CPPFLAGS to enable the functionality
* New upstream version; complete ChangeLog:
- [tg] Add check for naming the output file “scn” instead of “a.out”
or “a.exe” when compiling scn.c, for Haiku, from Adam “replaced” Hoka
- [tg] Rewrite utf_backch macro and x_bs2 function into a combined
x_bs3 function for the Emacs editing mode, to optimise them and get
rid of the use of __typeof__ (suggested by Anders “ragge” Magnusson
after the problem was spot by replaced) and one of the uses of the
statements-as-expressions feature
- [ahoka] Add mirtoconf check for nice(3), missing on Haiku
- [tg] Remove all uses of the statements-as-expressions feature by
rewriting the source code accordingly and optimising some parts
- [tg] Recognise nwcc (Nils Weller’s C compiler) in Build.sh
- [tg] If <strings.h> exists, pull it in for strcasecmp(3)
- [tg] Welcome QNX/Neutrino; work around broken /bin/ed
- [tg] Simplify, shorten, speed up PS1 in dot.mkshrc
- [tg] Remove some dead code courtesy of scan-build native runs
- [tg] Add some casts to prevent LLVM+Clang warnings
- [tg] Work around llvm-gcc-4.2.1 -Wformat pickyness
- [tg] Add new Build.sh option ‘-llvm’ (clang, llvm-gcc)
- [tg] Speed up mirtoconf if ‘-DMKSH_ASSUME_UTF8’ is set
- [tg] Add the workaround for Debian #492377 into the main mirtoconf
function (hiding gcc errors during the configure phase) because
Gentoo has similar scanner issues; reported by Hanno Böck
- [tg] If an MKSH_SMALL has arc4random(3), skip the rand(3)/srand(3)
fall-back altogether to shrink size, also removed need for time(3)
- [tg] Fix alias expansion recursion check if the word to be expanded
is immediately followed by end of input, add test case; spotted by
Michael Hlavinka in pdksh and mksh; RedHat #474115
- [tg] Fix string/wdstring confusion preventing bashiop (&>foo) to
work inside a function, add regression test, limit to 99 fds
- [tg] change regression tests to ‘set -U’ or ‘set +U̲ instead of
‘set -o utf8-hack’, as well as query using ‘$-’ ipv ‘$(set +o)’
(easier and more reliable)
- [tg] Add comment to regression tests which can fail on slow machines
or Cygwin environments due to timing issues
- [tg] Remove a lot of superfluous casts, improve type cleanliness
- [tg] Insert a couple of /* CONSTCOND */ for lint
* New source package and build structure:
- distfile is now packaged *inside* the orig tarball instead of repak-
kaged, similar to PostgreSQL
- debian/rules “patch” target takes care of it, as per Policy Manual
- debian-specific things (debian/ directory and all patches) are kept
in a publically accessible CVS repository
- VCS-CVS and VCS-Browser fields have been added to debian/control
- source is extracted to ./mksh and built, using relative paths to the
source code, in ./build/full and ./build/small; both are .cvsignore’d
- most files now carry an RCS ID
- paths in mksh.install, mksh.manpages, rules have been adjusted
* word-wrap debian/control lines to 80c
* add build dependency on cpio (for distfile extraction)
* for non-pbuilder testsuite runs (needed on gnubber), rename the ./manual
file tested for to ./attended to clarify its purpose
* debian/rules: share code instead of duplicating it
* debian/rules: fix testsuite use of $? and $x (gmake wants $$? and $$x)
* debian/rules: use sensible stamp files and new paths, coming along with
the new “patch” target
* remove the ‘-Q’ option from Build.sh invocation, which is gone
