1New features with AN-2008-09-02: 2 3- Next attempt wo work around the non-autoconf friendly implementation 4 of GNU gettext and GNU libiconv. 5 6- A new autoconf test allows to check whether the installed system shell 7 (/bin/sh) properly aborts with failed commands in "sh -ce 'cmd'". 8 9 If failed simple commands in "sh -ce 'cmd'" do not abort complex 10 commands, "make" will not stop on errors in the build process. 11 Note that this is a definite POSIX incompatibility. 12 13 The most well known defective shell with respect to this problem is "bash" 14 but /bin/sh on HP-UX-10.x (a Korn Shell modification) does not work 15 correctly either. If your system (Linux, HP-HX, ...) suffers from this 16 problem, I recommend to fetch the Schily Source consolidation from 17 ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/schily/ 18 Use a version that has been published past September 1st 2008, compile 19 and install the contained Bourne Shell as "/bin/bosh". Then call 20 "./.clean" and compile again. The resulting "smake" will then 21 automatically call "/bin/bosh" instead of "/bin/sh" in order to 22 execute commands. 23 24- smake now automatically uses /bin/bosh if it is a working shell and 25 the OS System Shell is buggy. Note that /bin/bosh needs to be installed 26 before "configure" is run. 27 28- & before some functions in libfind and star removed 29 30- Mkisofs now correctly sets the permissions for "invented" unreal 31 directories in UDF instread of using mode 000. The last version 32 intruced a bug during the code cleanup phase. 33 34- Mkisofs now correctly mixes multi-extent-File directory entries from 35 old sessions made by mkisofs. This is only related to multi-session 36 with files >= 4 GB. 37 38- isoinfo now extracts files using 10 sectors at a time to speed up 39 operation 40 41- The bsh builtin "type" now uses an output that is easier to parse 42 43Author: 44 45Joerg Schilling 46D-13353 Berlin 47Germany 48 49Email: joerg@schily.isdn.cs.tu-berlin.de, js@cs.tu-berlin.de 50 schilling@fokus.fhg.de 51 52Please mail bugs and suggestions to me. 53
