- I've received the following clarification on the status of POSIX.2 and
- 9945-2 from Hal Jespersen, Chair of .2/.2a:
-
- P1003.2 Draft 12 will be constructed from:
-
- P1003.2 Draft 11.3
- P1003.2 May change list (trivial changes)
- P1003.2a Draft 8
- P1003.2a May change list (corresponds to the temporary
- Draft 8.05)
- Editorial machinations to merge the preceding together
-
- This means that P1003.2a is no longer a separate document, and has
- been merged back into P1003.2 (although still a separate option).
-
- Therefore P1003.2 Draft 12 will be technically equivalent to the ISO
- Draft International Standard 9945-2. This is great news, since there
- will be one, and only one, Shell and Utility standard.
