Hi folks,
The pdksh-derived test(1) used by NetBSD and OpenBSD has made it through
a ``make world'' and package run on my box. It passes the regression
tests supplied with our own test(1) in exactly the same way as our own
test(1) does, and shows no noticeable performance difference.
I've mentioned several times that portability is a non-issue here
and haven't heard any rebuttals. I have a PR open (PR 13091) for
replacing our test(1) with the one used by {Net,Open}BSD. The
PR contains a diff which you should ignore. Rather look at
http://www.freebsd.org/~sheldonh/test/ :-)
So are there any reasonable ojections to our following the lead of our
sister free-BSD's?
Ciao,
Sheldon.
