[OpenIndiana-discuss] Bash bug issue

[cpforum]

First : building openindiana a10 with updated commands (including a secure bash) urge :-)

Second : because ksh is ten time powerfull and reliable than bash leave bash and adopt ksh. If you want history put ' set -o emacs' inside your .profile
For exemple ksh can be compiled (shcomp), has object oriented programming features and many other features bash has'nt.

Third : while waiting for openindiana a10 compile bash. It takes 15 minutes.

Get bash and patch from ftp.gnu.org/gnu/bash


$ ls

Go under ksh Important for {1-29%03d}

$ ksh 

$ cd bash-4.3

Apply all patch 001 to 029

$ for p in {1..29%03d} <<< ksh is powerfull than bash
> do
> gpatch -p0 < ../bash43-$p
> done


$ ./configure
$ gmake


$ gmake install
