In the spirit of there always being 1 more #vi clone than one thinks, notice that @lpar 's list is lacking Ali Gholami Rudi's #neatvi which is packaged in #pkgsrc and about a decade old now.

And even then the rule still applies. There's 1 more clone: Sterling Huxley's and Brent Roman's #viless, a quarter of a century old and what #BusyBox supplies.

Bob now automatically reports on, and links to, commits made to packages that fail to build since the previous attempt.

This is really helpful for showing regressions, and I hope will be useful to developers who want to check whether their updates caused problems on platforms they do not have access to.

bob v0.99.x now available, as well as a wip/bob package for testing.
These are release candidates in preparation for v1.0 which will be considered fully production ready.
If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, then now is the time to raise them as once v1.0 lands I will not be allowing any incompatible changes.

Happy building!

Now that I've switched the daily SmartOS pkgsrc bulk builds fully over to bob, I figured it might be interesting to also publish the exact config file I'm using to do so.
https://github.com/jperkin/bob/blob/main/examples/smartos-trunk.lua
No more complicated and fragile sandbox scripts, patches to pbulk, convoluted build infrastructure, etc.
Just a single binary installed using cargo, and a single configuration file.
Next release will be 0.99.0, we're almost ready for v1.0.

First full pkgsrc build completed with bob using the new publishing feature. All looking good!

bob v0.9.0 now available!
https://mail-index.netbsd.org/pkgsrc-users/2026/03/25/msg042765.html
I'm really proud of this one. Dynamic MAKE_JOBS and WRKOBJDIR in particular will save me a significant amount of time, and ensure my builds automatically stay optimal.
As always please let me know if you run into any issues or have suggestions for the next release.

@jperkin Any chance of getting it moved from wip into pkgsrc before the 2026Q1 branch, please? 🙏😎#pkgsrc #prettyplease 😁

Spent a couple of hours this morning fixing low-hanging fruit, broken third-party #pkgsrc software on #illumos.
#taglib uses conflicting offset_t type.
#gst-plugins1-base fails to include sys/stat.h for S_* macros.
#capstone doesn't handle non-const getopt.
#opencv uses ambiguous ceil() call.
#qalculate and #xscreensaver use conflicting "sun" define.
#qgpgme uses conflicting "single" type.
#mbrola has incorrect endian detection and is not MAKE_JOBS safe.
