Description Siteshwar Vashisht 2020-08-13 15:08:38 UTC
Description of problem:

In February 2020, AT&T decided to revert upstream GitHub repository[1] to last stable version of ksh that came out from AT&T Bell Labs. All changes that were made for ksh-2020.0.0 were moved to a separate branch, and ksh-2020.0.0 was abandoned by its developers. We should move ksh in Fedora back to version ksh-20120801 and restore all old patches.

Kamil,

Can you give me a review on comment 1 ?

Comment 3 Kamil Dudka 2020-08-21 13:41:40 UTC
I do not think that the alternatives-related changes should be reverted with this.

Comment 5 Siteshwar Vashisht 2020-08-24 19:44:01 UTC
I fixed it. Would it be possible for you to review again ?
