-This package is a patched version of the OpenBSD ksh, which is based on
-the original PD-ksh, but heavily modified and maintained by OpenBSD
-developers. "Patched" means ported to Linux.
-You can download the source package from a mirror listed in the
-slackbuild's info file, or you can always checkout the latest source
-from OpenBSD's repository.
+This package is a patched version of the OpenBSD ksh ported to Linux, which is
+based on the original PD-ksh, but heavily modified and maintained by OpenBSD
+developers.
+"Patched" means it contains modifications outside of the OpenBSD tree (and
+besides the Linux port bits).
-PD-ksh is a clone of the AT&T Korn shell.
-
-PD-ksh has most of the ksh88 features, not much of the ksh93 features,
-and a number of its own features. It is free and quite portable - you
-should be able to compile it easily on pretty much any unix box.
-The vi editing mode is better (IMHO) than that of ksh88 or ksh93
-(command/file completion using tab (optional), less buggy).
+See the Changelog.ksh-openbsd and the homepage for more information about the
+changes: https://github.com/levaidaniel/ksh-openbsd
