Moin moin, some of the tests in the pdksh port failed. Michael Rendell, the current maintainer of pdksh, told me the following: > history-ed-1..3 > FreeBSD's ed writes the byte counts to standard error instead > of standard output. Most eds write it to stdout (which is what > posix says it should do). Again, I can't do much to fix this... The following patch fixes this: --- bin/ed/io.c.orig Tue May 21 19:23:38 1996 +++ bin/ed/io.c Tue May 21 19:52:49 1996 @@ -58,7 +58,7 @@ sprintf(errmsg, "cannot close input file"); return ERR; } - fprintf(stderr, !scripted ?
