OS-8459 (C program version)

[danmcd]

It needs some more work like moving/renaming pkgsrc-wrapper but the C version works well, and appears to work with login shells too if the mapping function takes -$SHELL into account.

[danmcd]

Okay, currently I think (assuming the full smartos-live build works) we need to do is possibly rename pkgsrc-wrapper, but I leave that to the reviewers for now.

Another test to try is to have a shell script for each interpreter that just does ptree $$.

Will be placing results on jira ticket.

So I'd like:

• Any answers to KEBE questions in the source.

• Knowing whether or not /usr/lib/pkgsrc-wrapper should be renamed or not.

• Knowing if we need to move the pksgsrc-wrapper (or whatever it's named) man page to another section, or just remove it? (Obvs. renamed too if need be.)

[danmcd]

Remaining KEBE comments could use some answers, also what about the man page, which I haven't renamed to "altexec" yet, because I'm wondering if it NEEDS a man page (or not)?

[bahamat]

About the man page, I was thinking it would be a way to make it discoverable when they were symlinks, but with them being hardlinks now, I don't think it will be very easily found so I think there's less utility in having it. And it's not going to work out with the "magic" man page redirection (GZ default is to have /usr first and /opt/tools last).

I'm not opposed to removing the man page entirely.

[danmcd]

So I've lost the man page and answered the "needs diagnostics" KEBE comments. The only KEBE comments left are about the messages we do print; sorry if I missed earlier comments here or on chat about that.

[danmcd]

Note to self: include OS-8462 and OS-8461 in the commit message.

[danmcd]

Three KEBE comments left, all around message wording.

Still needs L10N wrapping.
