iMil of Beastiebox has
apparently lauded me for mksh – someone
came into our IRC channel #!/bin/mksh by means of it. Thanks, it
is not often that people give feedback on things. According to them, code
quality is very good. While many things are
... [More]
inherited this shows that the
cleanup both OpenBSD and I did did pay off.
Tonnerre thanked for a script of mine he put to good production use: svn2cvs,
which I already talked about. Glad to be helpful!
Sadly, at work we’d probably need cvs2svn. Not going to do. Besides, it
won’t work that easily – their CVS doesn’t use commit IDs, and svn has no
tools like rcs(1), ci(1), co(1) which are immensely useful. [Less]

mksh formed new allegiances: the
Beastiebox Project
(10x hubertf@TNF
for mentioning) has added mksh(1) today, and the latest project of
CcSsNET, CcSsLIVE, will include
it soonish as well. Nicely, he already links to MirBSD, for he sits
in our
... [More]
IRC channel usually and is
one of the sparc users.
The next version of grml GNU/Linux
might very well come not just with mksh(1) (except grml-small), but
also with bootbsd.com née boot(8/i386) and bsd.rd
(a slightly “tuned” version with added e3 editor and sans
the Install/Upgrade/Shell prompt). On the contrary, I’m toying with
the idea of adding a ports/sysutils/pxegrub for local boot
along with a slightly tuned (add mksh
at the very least) on the DuaLive ISOs if I find we have the space.
We’ll have to work out something, licence and GPL-source-requirement
wise, but we’re positive this would work out well. Considering just
how good of a rescue system our bsd.rd kernel is,
already, and what added benefit a minimal pretty standard Live Linux
may provide. [Less]

Bash tip ever! is a little… interesting. Of course, mksh(1) can do
it as well:

Instead of “^-s” you would use “r -- -s=” (the two

mksh R36b is out, grab it while

version, and this is the first one where ahoka@ has contributed directly.
Upgrade is recommended for all users. The new memory

MirOS-current has mksh R36b plus some changes from mksh-current, mostly
renaming set -o utf8-hack to set -o utf8-mode denoting

aalloc was a failure and prone to mis-type; I’ve started on galloc,
which is supposed to be even more type-safe and flexible, yet still
segfaults on me as well.
In the meanwhile, to not stay bored, I enhanced the Unicode (MirOS
OPTU-8/OPTU-16)
... [More]
function suite in MirBSD and hacked an implementation
of Plan 9’s Rune functions – dubbed p9¾_*.c due to usage of
our “internationalisation like Plan 9, just on the next layer, and
within the confines of UNIX®” approach to internationalisation. These
(as well as some well-known ones like wcsrtombs(3)) should be OPTU
safe, and we now have a macro telling us if a wide character is part
of the OPTU Raw Octet codepoint range (in the CSUR PUA assignment).
I’ve contacted Bruno Haible again because his libutf8 misses the
Unicode Title case (complementing Upper and Lower case)… I’ve got an
idea how to implement it but would like to double-check with him to
ensure nothing breaks. The Plan 9 functions need it (these two are
currently implemented as stubs that just throw ENOCOFFEE).
The number of manual pages also raised…
I built XFree86® with a (slightly beefed up) Reiser CCCP in use as
sole C Præprocessor now… and have yet to notice failures in operation.
Now we’ll have to find out what else stuff is there depending on the
existence of /usr/bin/cpp, possibly switching it, like the
<sys.mk> mirmake(1) file, to ${CC} -E - (which is not
100% compatible, because cpp can also read from stdin without the
dash, whereas, with the dash, neither can read from only a file).
X11 etc. can be switched to /usr/libexec/cpp then. [Less]

I got (E)COFF executables to work, even though I cannot produce them except with a
hand-crafted binary yet. Maybe these produced by kencc work now.
I didn’t get the time or nerve to continue hacking on aalloc today… the
whole pointers thing in C is
... [More]
so useless. If I could use assembly, it were
so trivial. Anyway, the TPtr data type will probably have to get
lost, and I plan on using more temporary local variables for overview.
Besides a beer discussion, IRC channel
today featured plans on getting a temporary setup of fast enough machines
for crossbuilding OpenJDK; replaced confirmed that someone had success in
doing what I planned, although the nōn-free JDK 1.5 only. We’ll see… [Less]
