Everything in base needs to work without any ports requirements. We have tests in base that require perl, and kyua itself comes from ports. Granted it's not ideal, but it works and it gives developers and test infrastructure people more flexibility with software instead of having to key it into a particular version in the base system. > Also ksh93 has been... problematic. It has a history of breaking on i386, sparc64, current, etc. It's not exactly a reliable dependency. That's really unfortunate :(. If you have bug reports it'll provide ammunition for why this should be converted over to something more portable when I'm contributing patches back to IllumOS. I really didn't want to do it because the process for contributing back to IllumOS is so heavyweight, but reliability when running the tests is a must.
