Public bug reported: This change is not a feature change. It deals with adding entries in /usr/bin/ to /etc/shells to match the entries in /bin because graphical privilege escalation tools can otherwise get the wrong path due to usrmerge and deny operation. It additionally enables more executables built as position-independent code (only on architectures where I tested this).
I’ve uploaded that to Debian and tested it on my PPA as well (modulo armhf, which I believe is waiting for the debugedit rebuilt against libelf1t64 to leave proposed and enter a pocket which the Launchpad buildds actually use). d/changelog for the delta: mksh (59c-37) unstable; urgency=medium * Limit musl static-PIE to architectures it is known to work (see #1068350 and even #1068302) -- Thorsten Glaser <t...@mirbsd.de> Fri, 05 Apr 2024 02:33:34 +0200 mksh (59c-36) unstable; urgency=low * Fix two typos in musl static-pie support check, improve diagnostics -- Thorsten Glaser <t...@mirbsd.de> Wed, 03 Apr 2024 12:25:23 +0200 mksh (59c-35) unstable; urgency=low * Update from CVS HEAD: - improvements to mbsd{cc,int}.h, mostly portability - put a message behind #ifdef DEBUG - improved fallback for missing rlim_t - FAQ update - avoid uint8_t in printf.c favouring “unsigned char” explicitly * Use munged specs file for #1050429 workaround, drop gcc-12 B-D * Install /usr/bin-based (nōn-canonical) pathnames into /etc/shells on systems with a broken filesystem layout (Closes: #1063905) * loong64 musl became available as well -- Thorsten Glaser <t...@mirbsd.de> Tue, 02 Apr 2024 16:32:00 +0200 I believe the changes to the upstream portion of the package in -35 to be unproblematic, they mostly deal with things like the OpenWatcom compiler or better C++ support in a supporting library (mksh does not use C++). I’m just a Debian Developer, so this needs sponsoring. ** Affects: mksh (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2060257 Title: Please sync mksh 59c-37 from Debian sid (main) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mksh/+bug/2060257/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
