  Description:    : Portable OpenBSD ksh, based on the Public Domain Korn Shell (pdksh)

Hello,

I'd like to ask for the inclusion of the portable version of OpenBSDs
ksh, which is called "oksh". It's much futher developed than the pdksh
it has been forked from. It's a small but efficient shell for scripting
and interactive use.

Upstream URL is https://github.com/ibara/oksh and there are unofficial
Debian packages listed. Those could be used as a starting point. I
really don't want my shell coming from a 3rd party repository.

License:
The main Korn shell files are public domain (see LEGAL). Portability
files are BSD or ISC licensed; see individual file headers for details.

Best Regards,
Stefan

Hi Stefan,

Please have a look at mksh if that fits your needs. It is also derived from pdksh.

Thanks,
Bastian
