Current thinking is to copy rename ksh93 to a new name in line with the new project, whatever they decide. ksh93-devel will be copied to a new ksh<something>-devel, tracking the new project while ksh93-devel itself will revert back to the AT&T 2020/02/08 rebase. That leaves att-ksh which IMO should be renamed back to ksh93. The todo at the moment is to see what the community decides. But this is currently my thinking about this. -- Cheers, Cy Schubert <Cy.Schubert@cschubert.com> FreeBSD UNIX: <cy@FreeBSD.org> Web: http://www.FreeBSD.org The need of the many outweighs the greed of the few.
