New features with AN-2020-03-11: This is the first localization step for the schily source consolidation. Many programs now (hopefully) call gettext() for all strings that need localization. - The next step will include dgettext() calls for the libraries and the missing programs - The following step will include the extracted strings - The last step will include German translations and install support for the resulting binary message object files. ----------> Please test and report compilation problems! <--------- ***** NOTE: As mentioned since 2004, frontends to the tools should ***** ***** call all programs in the "C" locale ***** ***** by e.g. calling: LC_ALL=C cdrecord .... ***** ***** unless these frontends support localized strings ***** ***** used by the cdrtools with NLS support. ***** *** WARNING *** *** Need new smake *** *** Due to the fact that schily-tools 2014-04-03 introduced to use new macro *** expansions and a related bug fix in smake, you need a newer smake *** to compile this source. If your smake is too old and aborts, ensure to *** use the recent smake by calling: cd ./psmake ./MAKE-all cd .. psmake/smake psmake/smake install The new smake version mentioned above is smake-1.2.4 The recent smake version is smake-1.3 *** Due to the fact that schily-tools 2018-01-26 introduced *** optimizations for the Schily version of SunPro Make, you *** need at least the dmake version from 2018/01/11 with support *** for the "export" directive to compile with this makefile system. WARNING: the new version of the isoinfo program makes use of the *at() series of functions that have been introduced by Sun in August 2001 and added to POSIX.1-2008. For older platforms, libschily now includes emulations for these functions but these emulations have not yet been tested thoroughly. Please report problems! BUG WARNING: Please never report bugs only to Linux distributions as they usually do not forward these bug reports upstream and as the Linux distributions typically do not let skilled people check the bugs. We did not hear about a FIFO problem in star for a long time. Then a problem on Linux occurred once every 6000-10000 tries but it did not happen on Solaris after even 10 million tries, so it was not known besides Linux. - configure: The autoconfiguration now has an enhanced test for waitid() that was needed since Mac OS is still not POSIX compliant and returns 0 instead of the signal number for a process that has been killed by a signal. MacOS did pass the POSIX certification as a result of a missing test for that problem. Since every vertified OS needs to run an annual refresh the certification with recent versions of the test, I guess that Mac OS (Catalina updates) may become more compliant witin a year. - psmake: The portable bootstrap compile environment for smake missed a symlink for unsetenv.c to libschily since the related code has been moved to libschily in 2018. This prevented compilation on IRIX. Thanks to Kazuo Kuroi for reporting - librmt: the code has been modified to allow librmt to be finally compiled without a need to link against libschily. This makes it easier to link ufsdump/ufsrestore from OpenSolaris against librmt. A call to errmsg() was replaced by a call to errmsgno() that has a private implementation in librmt already. - librmt: the man pages have been modified to make sure that man2html is able to correctly create links to referenced other man pages. - libstreamar: streamarchive.4 now mentions that the POSIX.1-2001 tar extensions are based on a Sun Microsystems proposal from 1997. - libshedit: mystdio.h now calls #undef sprintf and #undef snprintf before redefining the names. This avoids clang warnings on MacOS. - Bourne Shell: set -m now works in scripts as well. Before, bosh did never call startjobs() when the shell startup was done with a shell script. - Bourne Shell: The shell now supports the alternate ;& switch command limiter in addition to ;; where ;& implements a fallthrough to the next command list regardless on thether there is a match or not. - Bourne Shell: The file xec.c has been reindented for the "case" support code in the interpreter. The indentation is now one tab less so code becomes more readable. - patch: the declaration for the variable p_repl_lines has been moved from common.h to pch.h to avoid double common declarations. Thanks to Jan Engelhardt for reporting - cdda2wav: changed some macros in toc.c to avoid clang warnings. - cdrtools: the version date has been updated to 2020 - star: the man page now mentions that it is preferred to use the source from the schilytools instead of a star specific release. - ved/bsh/bosh: map.c now includes better command for the routines that implement fallback to some basic mapping when no user defined mapping has been set up. - SCCS TODO: - Convert sccs.c to use -NSCCS in the back end programs instead of converting g-file names from the command line into s.file names in the frontend in order to forward s.file names to the backend programs. Doing it this way allows us to have the SCCS history files "off tree" in a separate directory tree starting with ".sccs/" at the "project root" directory, as the related code to convert path names is in libcomobj::bulkprepare(). - Add code to admin(1) and delta(1) to retrieve the list of new or modified files in order to have all important code for a "sccs commit" in a single program that does not need to deal with ARG_MAX limitations. - Add code to admin(1), delta(1) and get(1) to maintain/understand the changeset file. - Add code to libcomobj to understand the changeset file, which is needed in order to e.g. know the file names and file specific SIDs/state that correspond to a project global SID. - Add code to all programs to maintain a lock (for the file $PROJECTHOME/.sccs/SCCS/s.changeset, that would be in the file $PROJECTHOME/.sccs/SCCS/z.changeset) to maintain a project global lock. - Find/verify a complete transactional model that allows to repair complex changes to the set of files for a project that have been aborted in the middle. The current idea is to create the file $PROJECTHOME/.sccs/changeset with the deltas to the changeset during a complex update operation. - Find a way to decide when to use SCCS v6 type history files. For the project mode, this is needed in order to prevent historic SCCS implementations to believe they could modify files without knowing about project global locks. Currently, SCCS V67 needs to be anebale manually for every history file using "admin". - Bourne Shell Missing features for POSIX compliance: - Support for $'...' quoting (this is not needed for the current version of POSIX but for the next POSIX version that will be named SUSv8). The development of SUSv8 will start in late 2016. We are now expecting the Bourne Shell to be fully POSIX compliant. - Bourne Shell further TODO list: - Finish loadable builtin support. - POSIX does not allow us to implement ". -h", so we will add a "source" builtin to be able to implement "source -h" - The following builtins (that are available in bsh) are still missing in the Bourne Shell: err echo with output going to stderr glob echo with '\0' instead of ' ' between args env a builtin version of /usr/bin/env The following bsh intrinsics are still missing in the Bourne Shell: - the restricted bsh has restriction features that are missing in the Bourne shell. - source -h read file into history but do not execute and probably more features not yet identified to be bsh unique.
