Wonderful BSD news

Netbase shall bring netBSD userland utilities to Linux

Version v0.1 is released by introducing a new endeavor to port netBSD userland utilities to Linux with minimal source changes

Quote

The first release already includes a substantial set of core utilities including

cat echo ln mv pwd rm rmdir sleep chmod sync date mkdir test chown basename env dirname id tee yes head printf wc false true whoami uniq nice tty grep domainname hostname

The powerful ksh is also in the release

The potential benefits are practical

Developers working across BSD and Linux may prefer consistent tool behavior in both environments Security researchers and systems engineers may want to test or standardize on BSD utilities without switching operating systems.

It may also appeal to users who prefer BSD-style implementations over GNU ones for philosophical or technical reasons.

It's awesome being able to do this - Linux on my phone

#UserLand #Android #Ubuntu #Linux

I've found #Ubuntu to be more suitable for me than #Debian on #UserLand

Make it more of a full system with:

sudo unminimize

And:

sudo apt install man-db

to get the man pages

#Linux #Android

Nice discussion:

switched from #Android app #UserLAnd to #Termux due to the promise of working sound via #portaudio , and also being generally much less outdated.

need to add a portaudio backend to clive (my thing for #LiveCoding #audio #dsp in the #C programming language) to be able to test it.

had hoped to test with #godwit (my #uzulang in progress) and classic Dirt sampler (which built in Termux with minor fixes), but compiling godwit depends on the #haskell programs alex and happy for generating the parser, and it seems Termux repos don't have them. nor is there darcs (also implemented in Haskell), which I'd need to get #HaskellHugs Hugs 2019 improvement (inc happy) working.

getting happy and alex working with #MicroHs is also far from trivial, even old versions depend on MagicHash and other ghc-isms.
