Hi,
Would there be any interest in either replacing shells/pdksh with
shells/ksh as our default ksh dependency? Or Uses/ksh.mk to select a
default ksh for ports?
The reason I ask is, shells/ksh has its lineage from the original AT&T ksh
(shells/ksh93) and is being actively developed (see shells/ksh-devel).
shells/ksh upstream is also the ksh imported into and used by CDE
(x11/cde*).
My position is, I'd prefer a Uses/ksh.mk. If people are interested, I'm
willing to put this task on my todo list.
Hi,
As long as there is no compatibilities issues, having a well
maintained ksh version makes a lot of sense.
pdksh wasn't update for ages and afaik, has no active developer.
As the shells/pdksh maintainer you have my blessing.
