--iole3onwjmfq3agg Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Hi everyone, I would like to import mksh in base, https://www.mirbsd.org/mksh.htm And make it the default root shell (not necessary in one step) Why: 1/ it is tiny 400k (in the packaged version) all other shells fitting the expectation are bigger 2/ it's default frontend in interactive mode is very close to what most people are used to with bash and shells as default root shell on other BSD and most linuxes 3/ from my narrow window csh as a default root shell is one of the major complaint (usually the first thing a user get faced to) from new comers and also for some long timers who are reinstalling a machine and have not yet installed/configured a bourne compatible shell What this proposal is _NOT_ about: 1/ the removal of tcsh from base 2/ any kid of denial of the quality and interest or features of csh What do you think?
