I'm looking for any volunteers to take over
maintainership of the following packages: mksh
I'm also somewhat interested in this one. I've never been a Korn shell
user, but I recently learned about mksh and its place in Bourne family
shell history. [1] Only a ksh93 package would be more valuable, but
until someone adopts that, I think mksh still has a place in Cygwin.
More questions:
1. Where is the source package? setup.exe doesn't offer it.
2. Have you cygported it yet? I built it from the official tarball, and
while it has a primitive non-Autotools build system, it looks compatible
with cygport.
3. Other than time, is there a reason you haven't released R50b yet? It
seems to pass its own test suite here, so if I adopt it, I'm committing
to releasing R50b shortly, unless there are traps I haven't discovered.
4. What do you think about replacing mksh in Cygwin with ksh93? It
seems OSS-enough to make Red Hat happy. [2]
