Welcome to Etsh (V6Shell) - etsh-current ! The etsh package provides two ports of the original /bin/sh from Sixth Edition (V6) UNIX (circa 1975). Etsh(1) is an enhanced, backward-compatible port of the Sixth Edition Thompson shell. Tsh(1) is an unenhanced port of the shell, and glob(1) is a port of its global command. Together, tsh and glob provide a user interface which is backward compatible with that provided by the Sixth Edition Thompson shell and global command, but without the obvious enhancements found in etsh. The original Thompson shell was principally written by Ken Thompson of Bell Labs. Notice that this package also includes the following shell utilities: if(1) - conditional command (ported from Sixth Edition UNIX) goto(1) - transfer command (ported from Sixth Edition UNIX) fd2(1) - redirect from/to file descriptor 2 ------- See the INSTALL file for build and install instructions. ------- The etsh package should build successfully on any POSIX-compliant UNIX system. It has been reported to build successfully on the following systems: System Releases / Distributions / Additional Info ----------------------------------------------------------- DragonFly BSD 2.0.1 FreeBSD 6.1, 7.0, 8.2, 10.2 (Mac) OS X 10.[4-9], 10.10, 10.11 NetBSD 2.1, 3.1.1, 4.0, 4.0.1, 5.[01], 6.1, 7.[01] OpenBSD 4.[1-7], 5.[0-9], 6.0, 6.1, 6.2 OpenIndiana (need to check if it works here or not) GNU/Linux CentOS 7.3, Debian 8.7 (jessie), Linpus, Slackware 13.0, Ubuntu 14.04 LTS If your system is not reported above, simply try to build the etsh package to see if it works or not. In either case, please report the results to the developer if possible. The resulting "config.h" file and the compiler name/version is most helpful. Please send etsh bug reports to <bugs (at) etsh (dot) io>. Before reporting a bug, please try to reproduce it with the latest version of the code. With bug reports, please try to ensure that enough information to reproduce the problem is enclosed. Also, if a known fix for it exists, then please include that as well.
