OK'd by seb@
Since two people already asked for it, here's the package, but
maintainer is set to pkgsrc-users.
Bash is an sh-compatible shell that incorporates useful features from
the Korn shell (ksh) and C shell (csh). It is intended to conform to
the IEEE POSIX P1003.2/ISO 9945.2 Shell and Tools standard.
It offers functional improvements over sh for both programming and
interactive use; these include command line editing, unlimited size
command history, job control, shell functions and aliases, indexed
arrays of unlimited size, and integer arithmetic in any base from two
to sixty-four. In addition, most sh scripts can be run by Bash without
modification.
This package contains the outdated version 3 of bash.
1. New Features in Bash
a. When using substring expansion on the positional parameters, a starting
index of 0 now causes $0 to be prefixed to the list.
b. The `help' builtin now prints its columns with entries sorted vertically
rather than horizontally.
c. There is a new variable, $BASHPID, which always returns the process id of
the current shell.
d. There is a new `autocd' option that, when enabled, causes bash to attempt
to `cd' to a directory name that is supplied as the first word of a
simple command.
e. There is a new `checkjobs' option that causes the shell to check for and
report any running or stopped jobs at exit.
f. The programmable completion code exports a new COMP_TYPE variable, set to
a character describing the type of completion being attempted.
g. The programmable completion code exports a new COMP_KEY variable, set to
the character that caused the completion to be invoked (e.g., TAB).
h. If creation of a child process fails due to insufficient resources, bash
will try again several times before reporting failure.
i. The programmable completion code now uses the same set of characters as
readline when breaking the command line into a list of words.
j. The block multiplier for the ulimit -c and -f options is now 512 when in
Posix mode, as Posix specifies.
k. Changed the behavior of the read builtin to save any partial input received
in the specified variable when the read builtin times out. This also
results in variables specified as arguments to read to be set to the empty
string when there is no input available. When the read builtin times out,
it returns an exit status greater than 128.
l. The shell now has the notion of a `compatibility level', controlled by
new variables settable by `shopt'. Setting this variable currently
restores the bash-3.1 behavior when processing quoted strings on the rhs
of the `=~' operator to the `[[' command.
m. The `ulimit' builtin now has new -b (socket buffer size) and -T (number
of threads) options.
n. The -p option to `declare' now displays all variable values and attributes
(or function values and attributes if used with -f).
o. There is a new `compopt' builtin that allows completion functions to modify
completion options for existing completions or the completion currently
being executed.
p. The `read' builtin has a new -i option which inserts text into the reply
buffer when using readline.
q. A new `-E' option to the complete builtin allows control of the default
behavior for completion on an empty line.
r. There is now limited support for completing command name words containing
globbing characters.
s. Changed format of internal help documentation for all builtins to roughly
follow man page format.
t. The `help' builtin now has a new -d option, to display a short description,
and a -m option, to print help information in a man page-like format.
u. There is a new `mapfile' builtin to populate an array with lines from a
given file. The name `readarray' is a synonym.
v. If a command is not found, the shell attempts to execute a shell function
named `command_not_found_handle', supplying the command words as the
function arguments.
w. There is a new shell option: `globstar'. When enabled, the globbing code
treats `**' specially -- it matches all directories (and files within
them, when appropriate) recursively.
x. There is a new shell option: `dirspell'. When enabled, the filename
completion code performs spelling correction on directory names during
completion.
y. The `-t' option to the `read' builtin now supports fractional timeout
values.
z. Brace expansion now allows zero-padding of expanded numeric values and
will add the proper number of zeroes to make sure all values contain the
same number of digits.
aa. There is a new bash-specific bindable readline function: `dabbrev-expand'.
It uses menu completion on a set of words taken from the history list.
bb. The command assigned to a key sequence with `bind -x' now sets two new
variables in the environment of the executed command: READLINE_LINE_BUFFER
and READLINE_POINT. The command can change the current readline line
and cursor position by modifying READLINE_LINE_BUFFER and READLINE_POINT,
respectively.
cc. There is a new &>> redirection operator, which appends the standard output
and standard error to the named file.
dd. The parser now understands `|&' as a synonym for `2>&1 |', which redirects
the standard error for a command through a pipe.
ee. The new `;&' case statement action list terminator causes execution to
continue with the action associated with the next pattern in the
statement rather than terminating the command.
ff. The new `;;&' case statement action list terminator causes the shell to
test the next set of patterns after completing execution of the current
action, rather than terminating the command.
gg. The shell understands a new variable: PROMPT_DIRTRIM. When set to an
integer value greater than zero, prompt expansion of \w and \W will
retain only that number of trailing pathname components and replace
the intervening characters with `...'.
hh. There are new case-modifying word expansions: uppercase (^[^]) and
lowercase (,[,]). They can work on either the first character or
array element, or globally. They accept an optional shell pattern
that determines which characters to modify. There is an optionally-
configured feature to include capitalization operators.
ii. The shell provides associative array variables, with the appropriate
support to create, delete, assign values to, and expand them.
jj. The `declare' builtin now has new -l (convert value to lowercase upon
assignment) and -u (convert value to uppercase upon assignment) options.
There is an optionally-configurable -c option to capitalize a value at
assignment.
kk. There is a new `coproc' reserved word that specifies a coprocess: an
asynchronous command run with two pipes connected to the creating shell.
Coprocs can be named. The input and output file descriptors and the
PID of the coprocess are available to the calling shell in variables
with coproc-specific names.
ll. A value of 0 for the -t option to `read' now returns success if there is
input available to be read from the specified file descriptor.
mm. CDPATH and GLOBIGNORE are ignored when the shell is running in privileged
mode.
nn. New bindable readline functions shell-forward-word and shell-backward-word,
which move forward and backward words delimited by shell metacharacters
and honor shell quoting.
oo. New bindable readline functions shell-backward-kill-word and shell-kill-word
which kill words backward and forward, but use the same word boundaries
as shell-forward-word and shell-backward-word.
2. New Features in Readline
a. A new variable, rl_sort_completion_matches; allows applications to inhibit
match list sorting (but beware: some things don't work right if
applications do this).
b. A new variable, rl_completion_invoking_key; allows applications to discover
the key that invoked rl_complete or rl_menu_complete.
c. The functions rl_block_sigint and rl_release_sigint are now public and
available to calling applications who want to protect critical sections
(like redisplay).
d. The functions rl_save_state and rl_restore_state are now public and
available to calling applications; documented rest of readline's state
flag values.
e. A new user-settable variable, `history-size', allows setting the maximum
number of entries in the history list.
f. There is a new implementation of menu completion, with several improvements
over the old; the most notable improvement is a better `completions
browsing' mode.
g. The menu completion code now uses the rl_menu_completion_entry_function
variable, allowing applications to provide their own menu completion
generators.
h. There is support for replacing a prefix of a pathname with a `...' when
displaying possible completions. This is controllable by setting the
`completion-prefix-display-length' variable. Matches with a common prefix
longer than this value have the common prefix replaced with `...'.
i. There is a new `revert-all-at-newline' variable. If enabled, readline will
undo all outstanding changes to all history lines when `accept-line' is
executed.
j. If the kernel supports it, readline displays special characters
corresponding to a keyboard-generated signal when the signal is received.
Changes from NEWS:
--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<
Major changes between versions 4.3.6 and 4.3.9
----------------------------------------------
The option COMBINING_CHARS has been added. When it is set, the
line editor assumes the terminal is capable of displaying zero-width
combining characters (typically accents) correctly as modifications
to the base character, and will act accordingly. Note it is not set
by default owing to vagaries of terminals. The system is reported
to work on MacOS, where this is particularly important as accented
characters in file names are stored in their decomposed form (i.e.
with base and combining characters).
The option HIST_FCNTL_LOCK has been added to provide locking of history
files using the system call fcntl(). On recent NFS implementations this
may provide better reliability.
The syntax ~[...] provides a dynamic form of directory naming,
supplementing the existing static ~name syntax. A user-defined shell
function, zsh_directory_name, is used to handle both expansion of names to
directories and contraction of directories to names.
Patterns can now be used in incremental searches with the new widgets
history-incremental-pattern-search-backward and
history-incremental-pattern-search-forward. These are not bound to
keys by default.
Highlighting and colouring of sections of the command line is now
supported, controlled by the array parameter zle_highlight and the ZLE
special parameter region_highlight.
Colouring of prompts is now supported within the shell by prompt
escapes. The prompt theme system has been updated.
Various changes have been added to make debugging of shell code easier:
- As noted in README, the option DEBUG_BEFORE_CMD is now set by default.
- In DEBUG traps, $ZSH_DEBUG_CMD gives the code for which the trap is
called as a string.
- "setopt ERR_EXIT" in a DEBUG trap causes the code not to be executed.
- $ZSH_SUBSHELL indicates the subshell level at which code is being
executed.
- The zsh/parameter module has various additional arrays similar to
the existing $funcstack and $functrace, namely $funcsourcetrace
and $funcfiletrace. The consistency and informativeness of
the output of all these arrays has been improved.
- Prompt escapes %x and %I show the source file and line number in
debug prompts (compare %N and %i which show names and line numbers
in the execution environment).
- The option NO_MULTI_FUNCDEF can turn off multiple definition of
functions at once, a rarely used feature that can cause problems
with misplaced "()".
- The "fc" builtin has been enhanced to make non-interactive use possible
and output consistent when the history is manipulated with "print -s".
The completion style accept-exact-dirs has been added. When true, this
suppresses attempts to complete non-final directory segments of a filename
path when the directory exists. (For example, /home/pws/src/zsh/<TAB>
discovers that /home/pws/src/zsh exists and leaves the directory component
alone, while /h/p/s/z/<TAB> completes to /home/pws/src/zsh/... as before.)
This should improve completion behaviour noticeably in special cases, such
as remote paths under Cygwin.
Major changes between versions 4.3.5 and 4.3.6
----------------------------------------------
cd, chdir, pushd and popd now take a -q option to suppress side effects
including printing the directory stack (for pushd and popd) and executing
the chpwd hook functions (for all four).
The parameter subscript (e) flag now forces the argument to be treated
as a string where it would previously have been treated as a pattern,
for example ${array[(ie)*]} substitutes the index of the element whose
value is "*".
Major changes between versions 4.3.4 and 4.3.5
----------------------------------------------
- The new extended globbing flag (#cN,M) behaves similarly to the extended
regular expression syntax {N,M}.
- The zsh/datetime module has been enhanced and a calendar function
system has been added along the lines of (but much enhanced from)
the traditional Unix "calendar" utility. This is still under
development. See the zshcalsys manual. (The calendar functions
were in 4.3.4 but were not listed in this file. There have been
significant enhancements since 4.3.4.)
- A new module zsh/curses provides a builtin zcurses for access to
to the curses screen manipulation package. See the entry for zsh/curses
in the zshmodules manual.
- The module system has been enhanced to support the notion of "features"
that give more control over which builtins, parameters, conditions
and math functions are loaded from a module. In particular,
"zmodload -F zsh/stat b:zstat" makes the builtin previously called
"stat" available as "zstat" (only) to avoid clashes with a system
command named "stat".
>8-------->8-------->8-------->8-------->8-------->8-------->8--------
Upstream changes between osh-20081122 and osh-20081213 follow.
osh.c:
This release changes the effect of the `-v' command-line option so that,
in addition to printing non-blank command lines to the standard error,
it also prints each blank/empty command line as an empty line.
fd2.c, util.c:
This release changes the fd2 `-e' command-line option so that it
reflects the documented behavior. For example, this change causes
invocation of `fd2 -ef file command' to redirect both conventional
output and diagnostic output from "command" to "file".
Add new maintainer. Thank you J.A.
The following is from PR #40006:
I would like to maintain this package if that is acceptable.
Thus, I added myself as MAINTAINER.
Changed files: DESCR, Makefile, PLIST, distinfo
Changes between osh-20080629 and osh-20081122 which affect the osh
package on the various pkgsrc platforms are described below.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
[osh-20081122]:
mkconfig:
* Added a case for DragonFly BSD (uname -s == DragonFly).
osh.c:
* Fixed a bug introduced in osh-20061230 where the shell
incorrectly handles an unescaped terminating backslash (\)
character at the end of string when the shell is invoked as
`osh -c string'. In this case, the terminating backslash
causes the shell to incorrectly read from the standard input
at the end of string.
For example:
% osh -c 'echo Hello\'
to\
you!
Hello to you!
This example should instead do nothing and exit w/ a zero
status. For `osh -c string', an unescaped terminating
backslash should effectively turn string into a no-op.
Now, it behaves as expected.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
[osh-20081026]:
Makefile:
* Changed the "oshall" target to only build osh since the fd2,
goto, and if utilities are now built into the shell.
* Changed the "install-oshall" target to only install osh and
its manual pages. This includes the fd2.1, goto.1, and if.1
manual pages since they are not fully documented elsewhere.
osh.c:
* Renamed cmd_index() to cmd_lookup(), and changed the algorithm
from a linear search to a binary search.
* Added a base reallocation multiplier to glob() to reduce the
number of realloc()s required for very large argument vectors
while allowing the first malloc() to be a relatively small
allocation for up to 126 matching file-name arguments.
util.c:
* This is a new file for the integrated shell utilities.
* Added a new `-e' command-line option to fd2 to simplify
redirecting all conventional output to the standard error
as diagnostic output.
* Integrated the external `fd2', `goto', and `if' shell
utilities as special built-in commands to improve shell
performance. Also, added `echo' as a special built-in
command. Osh executes each of these built-ins in a subshell.
Consequently, the I/O for each can be redirected as before,
and the argument list for each can be the result of a call to
glob() as before.
Major changes:
* Digital UNIX (DEC OSF/1) V2.0 (MIPS) is now supported using the DEC C and ucode toolchain. (We could not run the testsuite, though.)
* The ‘-Q’ option to Build.sh is gone without replacement.
* A new option can be enabled by adding -DMKSH_BINSHREDUCED to $CPPFLAGS, intended mostly for Debian. This option adds extra code to determine whether mksh(1) is called as sh or -sh and switch to “set -o posix” mode if so, disabling brace expansion and some security features, because legacy scripts, such as debconf, depend on such reduced functionality /bin/shs.
* Input lines beginning with an IFS character of IFS white space are no longer pushed into the history. Some other, less surprising, changes were also made to both Emacs and Vi command line editing modes.
* The arc4random.c contributed file is now stored with the RCS version number appended, and has been updated.

mksh R35b comes with the following bug fixes:
IRIX also has no UTF-8 locale at all, confirmed by Elias Pipping
Fix regression test suite for MKSH_SMALL
Bring in latest changes from oksh (OpenBSD ksh, not DeliLinux crap)
Fix abuse and unsafe use of str_save() and str_nsave()
Optimise the implementations of str_save() and str_nsave()
If MKSH_AFREE_DEBUG is defined, guard against afree()ing a pointer which has not been allocated from the given pool, from Todd C. Miller
Fix attempt to free a pointer to stack (function-local) storage when redefining a function containing a call to the “time” built-in, discovered by Elias Pipping, patch by Jared Yanovich, help from Todd C. Miller
Protect a little against people not running “./test.sh -v” but calling it with, for instance, GNU bash (as homsn did…)
Honour $PERL environment variable in test.sh, improve scanning for Perl, do not use potentially undefined $^O, print Perl version
Add <sys/types.h> as <ulimit.h> requirement (dietlibc)
Work around bug in BSD/OS 3.1 /bin/ksh (PD KSH v5.2.8 96/08/19)
Add regression tests from OpenBSD’s <bsd.regress.mk> suite
Use better CPPFLAGS for AIX, Minix 3 (from pdksh)
Expose the “s ≠ NULL” str_[n]save_() API and use it where the string can never be NULL (local stack storage), from gcc-4.2 warnings
Clean up pointer-to-integer-cast warnings in the mirtoconf process
mksh R35 comes with helluva changes:
Simplify and refactor the ulimit builtin, partially from oksh
Some style cleanup; use appropriate integer types
Fix a bug in table (e.g. kill -l, tab completion) display: the width of non-ASCII characters is now honoured in the utf8-hack mode
Improve handling of invalid UTF-8 in certain areas, and multibyte (UTF-8 / CESU-8) in general
When using “typeset -Z«n»” on an integer variable with a base other than ten, zero-pad the value instead of the base – pdksh, oksh, zsh, and AT&T ksh93 are wrong here; GNU bash doesn’t even have typeset
Improve parsing of “set +o” output where done (dot.mkshrc, check.t)
Improve regression tests
Support for base-1 numbers: in non-utf8-hack mode, ‘1#x’ means the same as the ASCII code for ‘x’ (e.g. 78hex), where ‘x’ is any single octet (byte); in utf8-hack mode, ‘x’ is either a valid and minimalistically encoded UTF-8 multibyte character in the range 0000‥FFFD, or a single octet with no trailing octets (bytes), which will then be converted as if it were an ASCII value, or, if bit7 is set, be mapped into the PUA range of EF80‥EFFF assigned by CSUR for this purpose; this mapping is, in both cases, bidirectional; the planned base-0 number support is not possible with the code, so use base-1 (with utf8-hack disabled, or & 0xFF) instead (while it is recommended to parse only single octets, there is a regression test showing correct and safe multibyte parsing, which however is error-prone to implement and thusly not recommended) – “genial” replaced@TNG, “this sounds fun” ggergely, agreed bsiegert@ and others
Pull in more current versions of supplied files; use Unicode 5.0
Clean up unused definitions in build system; document MKSH_CLS_STRING
Remove advertising clause from copyright file; while we’d be pleased to be mentioned if something contains our code, tg@ will no longer enforce the requirement to advertise with that specific formula, and we’d prefer if people remember the OpenHAL vs ath5k incident and that they cannot simply change licencing of existing code; patches sent to the MirOS Project for inclusion shall be accepted if they’re agreed to match this licence
Simplify dot.mkshrc sample file: licence is merged into the main copyright file; AT&T ksh93 compatibility was improved
Fix a display problem regarding fullwidth characters (e.g. CJK)
Set the “C” locale in Build.sh for tool execution; otherwise, certain OEs behave strange; thanks to Adam “replaced” Hoka for spotting
Use en_US.utf8 as UTF-8 locale for the testsuite for now
If setlocale(LC_CTYPE, "") is not available, look at the environment variables ourselves – brings UTF-8 support to poor OSes
Remove some now-dead code; speed up configuration process; shrink
Default to no setlocale(3) due to stubbed or missing locale support on GNU/Cygwin, OpenBSD, OSF/1 in Build.sh; a few more that are quite unlikely to have a UTF-8 locale: BSD/OS, Interix, Minix, PW32, Ultrix, AT&T UWIN; default to always UTF-8 on Plan 9
Fix for testsuite unexpected failure if running as root in one case
Initialise all shell integer variables (OPTIND, PPID, RANDOM, SECONDS, TMOUT) to base 10
Reintroduce from mksh pre-R24 shell integer variable PGRP set to the PID of the process group leader via getpgrp(2)
New shell integer variable USER_ID set to the geteuid(2) and used by dot.mkshrc to speed up logins, saves a spawn of id(1), mentioned by and realisation planned with Andreas "gecko2" Gockel
Fix dot.mkshrc tilde replacement in both $PS1 and the pushd/popd/dirs implementation when the home directory is empty, the root directory, or ends with a slash (disable replacement in that case)
Support dietlibc, force it into providing a BSDish caddr_t
Do not use LDFLAGS and LIBS while compiling with -c
Add realpath(3) builtin, to further speed up logins and chdirs
Optimise the code somewhat by making use of possible assumptions
Set the “C” locale in test.sh as well to quell warnings
Split the regression tests that use locale between en_US.utf8 and en_US.UTF-8, since not all OSes support either one, and make only HP-UX and GNU use the latter
Fix kill, mknod(8) builtin usage msg, from Igor Sobrado via oksh
Use proper ptrdiff_t casts for pointer arithmetics, inspired by an oksh commit from Federico Schwindt
Remove check category “pdksh” from check.t and test script
Improve Darwin, OSF/1, HP aCC, SUNpro version reporting
Support GNU bash “&>” extension, even better than they do, suggested by Lukas “smultron” Upton from MidnightBSD
Basic support for LLVM+clang in the build system with experimental “ccc” compiler driver; llvm-gcc worked as-is before already
Better support for contributed arc4random.c file
Do not spin if unlink(2) fails on $HISTFILE, from Decklin Foster
Dump the perl(1) $^O variable in test.sh to logs
Pull in latest changes from oksh
Allow white space between a here string indicator and the string, accidentally discovered by twkm (#ksh, freenode)
Allow fd specifications outside the 0‥9 range for I/O redirections, and bounds check them to be lower than the FDBASE definition, currently still 10 if MKSH_SMALL, 24 otherwise (unportable)
Improve the regression test suite: for one test, we had a bizarre constraint telling it won’t work on UWIN, which was based upon false assumptions, but Tru64 would fail it since its cat(1) unexpectedly outputs some error messages (fix by closing stderr for cat); another test would unexpectedly print no error message on Solaris (fix by making the error message optional in the perlre(1) used)
Switch back to en_US.UTF-8 for glibc, Debian can do both, Mandriva fails on en_US.utf8 (XXX no libc5 auto-detection to disable it)
