proclus,
Coming from the solaris environment I wanted the korn shell on darwin, so since the recent opening of korn shell for installation I figured I'ld check... and sure enough a darwin package is listed. I'm reading up on/installing the package now. Have you tried installing korn yet? Just curious if it didn't appear hear because it's not GPL'ed but rather is under the AT&T public license? Oh well no biggie, just figured I'ld get some talk started.

Sorry, I have never used korn. If there is a korn package for Darwin, I think that it should be submitted to the Darwin project.
Of course, if it were GPL, we would include it here right away. I am thinking alot right now about whether to include non-GPL software in the distribution. Clearly Darwin itself has non-GPL parts, and what about Mozilla?
I haven't made a decision yet, and any input would be much appreciated.
Regards,
proclus

Maybe you should consider a contrib section, kinda like debian and slackware. A section that is not gpl but contains useful software that can still be downloaded but is under some other sort of license. Of course the licenses will have to be downloaded with the software but I think that this way you would be offering as much as possible but still keep the major section software under the GPL. Just my 2 cents. By the way if anyone is interested the Korn shell does work, except I've been getting some odd dyld errors with certain installed packages that I'm still trying to sort out. It can be downloaded at the URL: http://www.research.att.com/sw/download/
ksh93 is part of the ast-open package, among others.
