Second Reality demo port for IRIX finished and uploaded to my online repo:
$ tdnf install flx-secondreality
Note: Needs gfx board with TRAM!
@flexion got a url for the repo that i could throw at people?
@psenough here is the link to the repo for Second Reality on IRIX. There is a download bundle in releases compiled for IRIX 6.5.x with matching SDL2 GL runtime. Graphics card with TRAM required for GL rendering context.

@[email protected] i see you ue some tdnf, i guess that's a port of dnf to irix? can irix use https and download from https repos? how? didn't it use openssl and openssl even from ten years ago doesn't work in today's world.

if there's modern openssl for irix, then does that mean there's a community project that keeps the operating system alive? afaik it was never open sourced so i guess they mod it like people mod nokia n8 symbian to make it usable today?

@inky we use tdnf on IRIX for SGUG-RSE rpm packages. comes with gcc toolchain, openssl, etc. and there is a big update for all packages coming soon https://github.com/sgidevnet/sgug-rse

@[email protected] thank you, i just don't understand how is it possible? i know that if you have a system with old openssl, and there are no updates to whole system, and you can't update other packages, if you install new openssl, it won't help because it'll break old packages anyway.

i don't understand how do you solve this problem.

is irix open-source? then you could.

@inky openssl is just a package installed on top of the (closed-source) OS. Nothing is stopping you from compiling a newer version of openssl on IRIX and installing this updated library as replacement. we also have openssh.
