Bug#294563: ITP: ksh -- The real AT&T Korn shell
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
* Package name : ksh
Version : 93q
* URL : http://www.kornshell.com/
* License : Common Public License (CPL) Version 1.0
Description : The real AT&T Korn shell
The latest version of AT&T Software Technology's (David Korn's) ksh
has changed licence and now goes under the CPL (previous licence had a
few issues).
The KornShell is a UNIX command interpreter (shell). This version is a
much newer version of the ksh distributed with common commericial Unix
variants (ksh88) and also newer than the original 1993 version. It
primarily adds powerful features for scripting such as compound
variables, static scoping, associative arrays and namespaces.
The licence change also applies to the other software in the ast-base
distribution if there is interest in them.
