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