[oi-dev] Latest ksh93 changes in illumos-gate have impacts on REQUIRED_PACKAGES

[stes@PANDORA.BE]

The shared-macros.mk in oi-userland/make-rules could do:

shared-macros.mk:REQUIRED_PACKAGES += shell/ksh93

where it is currently doing

shared-macros.mk:REQUIRED_PACKAGES += SUNWcs

Currently on an older OpenIndiana system I have:

$ pkg search /usr/bin/sh
INDEX      ACTION VALUE      PACKAGE
path       link   usr/bin/sh pkg:/SUNWcs at 0.5.11-2020.0.1.20038
path       link   usr/bin/sh pkg:/shell/ksh93 at 93.21.1.20120801-2020.0.1.20424

$ ls -l /bin/sh
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root           9 Sep 16  2020 /bin/sh -> i86/ksh93

So if a component provides a script with /bin/sh it requires either SUNWcs or shell/ksh93.

But the oi-userland/make-rules/shared-macros.mk modification could perhaps deal with most cases.
