It mostly works, the buggest problem may be bash 3.0 which can't export environment variables. Note the underlying 9front system hasn't been upgraded since December. pkgtools * installpkg appears to run correctly but it's noticeable some work is not done; e.g. there is no gcc symlink and firefox's launcher script languishes in /usr/lib/firefox-foo. Probably related to bash's env var issues. * tar-13.1 (included) fails to unpack files. Installpkg complains if /bin/tar-13.1 is not present, but functions better without than with. bash (3.0) * Prompts, executes commands, for loops, wildcard expansion, and history (in xterm) correctly. * Fails to export environment variables. * May have some other problem with variables; configure fails to recognize it as a posix shell based on a test with a lot of variables. * ddoouubblleess every character entered at the prompt in rio and acme windows. This is purely cosmetic. Does not happen in xterm. ash * Prompts, executes commands, and history (in xterm) correctly. * ddoouubblleess every character entered at the prompt in rio and acme windows. This is purely cosmetic. Does not happen in xterm. xterm * Displays and scrolls command-line data correctly. * Dialog appears to run correctly within it. (--yesno tested) * Less does not. * Takes a second to exit. WindowMaker and WPrefs.app * WM Functions as correctly as it ever did. * WPrefs works. Firefox (1.5) * Generally functions as expected but cannot load some pages which Mothra can, and can't load any of the pages I really want which don't work in Mothra anyway. ;) xz * could not compile; failed to configure (see bash). opera (11.62) * outputs 1 line to stderr: Killed. Not really unexpected with such an old libc. opera (9.52, gcc-2.95, static) * Works correctly! Or at least, it works better than that old Firefox. To do: * Test environment variables in ash. If pass, attempt to use ash as /bin/sh and retry package installation and configure scripts. Also retry Opera 11. * See if some change to /etc/inputrc could fix the doubling.
