Brodie RobertsonI wonder if we're actually moving into a world where GNU/Linux is just a flat out wrong statement, Ubuntu is adopting uutils, I wouldn't be surprised if others decide to experiment with it
Ra (Freyja) (it/its)๐ญ๐น๐ ๐ฉ@BrodieOnLinux well, our new distro uses SVR4 packaging, sbase, ubase and heirloom tools, launchd, and LLVM/clang. So not very GNU there, no

@kkarhan @BrodieOnLinux oh, that's cute. Ours is cool, it ports over a bunch of Solarisisms, we plan to actually ship SPARC64 versions of it too
@freya @BrodieOnLinux lets just say the idea of @OS1337 is to see what is the minimum viable #Linux distro to get essential work done, and to me that means an #SSH #Terminal.
- Needless to say I'd love to target #SPARCv9 but for testing ease I'm focussing on #i486 (#EeePC701) and #arm5r11 (#Pi0W) because these are the ones I have setup ready to roll...
And I have nothing beyond the #Xbox360.
- Basically having some nimble "swiss knife" one can use to recover data or get basic stuff setup, because many old systems are a pain in the ass to setup from a clean slate and/or non-original & specifically modified parts.
Even if it's just a sort-of "#Foreman" image that then just dd a base system image or yeets data from a drive...
@kkarhan @BrodieOnLinux that makes sense! SPARCv9 and a64pc are our targets, the install process is simple, create partitions, mount, then run pkgadd -d * with the base directory set to /as/
@freya @BrodieOnLinux noice.
So classic #Solaris-Style #Installation, but less headaches...
- Pretty shure @ncommander would take a look...
I guess it'll be an alternative to "cybermasochism"โฆ
Exploring Sun Solaris 7 for SPARC
@kkarhan @BrodieOnLinux correct! unfortunately we're using launchd, not smf, since there is no SMF port to Linux
@freya @BrodieOnLinux makes sense, ofc.
- I like SystemD but for #OS1337 had to stick with the classic
/etc/initfile for space reasons alone.
Tho in fairness I'm shure #SMF did inspire #Apple to do #LaunchD which in turn was copied with #SystemD, abeit all 3 are very much centric about the Kernel and Userland they target.
- Reminds me of that legendary talk "The Tragedy of SystemD"โฆ
