#Solaris aficionados: I remember a repo back in the #Solaris7 and #Solaris8 days from which I could download and install #GNU versions of common utilities. (Solaris
tarin particular I remember being quite hobbled.) Was itpkgaddI used to fetch the binaries?Does any such repo still exist for GNU tools from that era? Or perhaps there are instructions to allow me to host my own?

I can't believe I'm nostalgic for an operating system built by #Microsoft. I don't think I even ran Windows 98 for any length of time - I switched to NT 3.51, then NT 4, then Windows 2000 before finally making the switch to #Linux, with #Ubuntu Dapper Drake. I never looked back. This'll be the first #Windows machine in the house for years!
I don't think I have the heart (or the interest) to put an ancient #Debian on it. I'd sooner try IBM OS/2 Warp 4. At work back in the day, we built an X.400 mail client which ran on OS/2 Warp, but I never had a chance to use that OS as a daily driver.
Another option is #Solaris 7. I did daily-drive that thanks to the magic of #ReflectionX. I loved Solaris, especially with the #GNU tools installed.
Many of these more esoteric options will depend on getting a functioning floppy drive.

Maybe of interest to the folks currently participating in the Old Computer Challenge:
I have reactivated my Sharp Netwalker PC-Z1.
It still runs Ubuntu 9.04, but I managed to do the following:
* Install a dev environment
* install current version of some GNU tools.
* compile openssl 1.1.1u instead of the installed 0.9.8i (cough, cough) and install it locally.(1/2) tbc

#MorphOS 3.19 Adventure day 2 on the #MacMiniG4
#Wayfarer updated to 9.0 and spent some time with understanding how to change desktop resolution, background etc. to 4:3 so I can easily switch between the mega65 and this on the Capture Card without different settings.
Being without the normal BSD/GNU tools makes computing a bit more complicated. And without a *nix filesystem structure I don't even know where to put the new browser :D

I'm about to force-push my #Linuxulator userland branch now, removing all hacks to disable xattr usage.
TL;DR is: If you want to test it on #FreeBSD 14 and newer right now, you'll have to apply this patch: https://people.freebsd.org/~dchagin/xattr.patch -- I hope it will be committed to main and stable/14 soon 😎
The (weird) background is: Support for #Linux xattr syscalls was added quite recently, and it correctly maps the Linux syscalls to the FreeBSD ones. So far, so good. BUT: Access to the "system" namespace for extended attributes is typically restricted to root (and, on FreeBSD, also restricted in #jails). Now, FreeBSD returns EPERM on rejected attempts, which IMHO makes perfect sense. But, Linux returns ENOTSUP in these cases instead. And: GNU tools and other Linux software using extended attributes consider EPERM a *fatal* error as a consequence. This means things like "install" from GNU coreutils are now broken in jails and as non-root. 🤯
The patch above fixes this.

Hello folks! I’m coming to you live from a very wet and windy Ireland. April showers is certainly a thing, but this kind of rain is even giving the typical Irish weather a run for its money! 😀 I hope you all have had a good (and drier) week so far and enjoy your weekend, and if you would like some weekend reading, weekend bug fixing, or even a weekend proposal writing session, read on for the links and information you need to do just that 🙂
Flock to Fedora
The call for papers for our annual contributor conference, Flock to Fedora, is now open until April 21st. Check out the cfp page for details on the tracks and themes of this years conference, plus information on travel subsidies and how to contact event staff if you need help.
Fedora Linux 40
Important Dates
- Currently in Final Freeze
- Thursday, April 11th @ 1700 UTC – Fedora Linux 40 Go/No-Go Meeting
- Tuesday, April 16th – Current Release Target Date (this will depend on the outcome of the Go/No-Go meeting)
Help Wanted
There are a number of blocker bugs open against F40 at the moment, both proposed and accepted. If you could spare some time to visit the blocker bugs app and reproduce some of the bugs to validate if they are blocking bugs or not, and/or even propose a fix for a bug listed, that would be hugely appreciated. A summary of the current F40 bugs can be found on this email with links to each too.
Fedora Linux 41
Change proposals are welcome for F41, and even F42 (and F43 if you’re that prepared!). The first deadline is 19th June if your change requires any infrastructure changes, and 26th June if it is a system-wide change. Self-contained changes may be submitted until 16th July. Those dates might seem far off, but please do have your changes in Rawhide as early as possible as this impacts a lot of the build and release folks (QA, rel-eng, etc) so getting the work proposed, approved and into development as early as possible is strongly recommended. Below is a list of changes proposed, awaiting FESCo decision and already accepted for F41.
