Import tcsh into src/contrib/tcsh :2. copy src/bin/csh/Makefile to src/bin/csh/Makefile.csh :3. create src/bin/csh/Makefile.tcsh :4. src/bin/csh/Makefile looks like this: : : .if defined(WANT_OLD_CSH) : .include ${.CURDIR}/Makefile.csh : .else : .include ${.CURDIR}/Makefile.tcsh : .endif : :-- :-- David (obrien@NUXI.com) How about not. Just create /bin/tcsh, fixup the default csh.cshrc file and the default [root] shell and be done with it. Don't complicate things by trying to remove/replace csh. In addition to my earlier objects, I agree *completely* with Terry in regards to script writers starting to assume that tcsh features are csh features (for example, tcsh has additional variable substitution features that csh does not). -Matt Matthew Dillon To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-arch" in the body of the message
