@ky0ko IT'S ALIVE! I sorta wish I could like this more than once. Let's pretend I did.
@ky0ko The Berlin wall has fallen, we're looking at history being written right in front of our eyes
@ky0ko finally, Linux without the GNU
@ky0ko
very
nice
what version?

@vaartis 4.16.0

currently working on getting a deblobbed version packaged for my new wip distro

@ky0ko
thats like the latest one, right?
~
also will it have a hip package manager

@vaartis I'm basing the distro loosely on Alpine, including using their package manager, apk

it's kinda like dpkg in usage, but it's more like pacman as far as package creation goes, so, easy to make packages for

@ky0ko
uhh echhh not that hip..

wow i think it actually builds with clang 6 just by changing the CC in the makefile?

@vaartis I'm building it with Clang 5.0, and yeah - i literally just did make CC=clang -j2 and it just *worked*
@ky0ko wow so good, we might actually get clang as a system compiler for everything in gentoo now huh
@vaartis yep, and I intend for it to be the systemwide compiler for Chibix

@ky0ko
n i c e
n a m e

hmm if it compiles the kernel can it build glibc too now 🤔

@vaartis a great question that I have no intention of finding the answer to anytime soon

it builds musl and that's good enough for me

@ky0ko i'll try right now, not that hard

echh i think you can build musl with any compiler that supports the standard fully, glibc tho is quiet scary because it has lots of bad unstandardized stuff

@ky0ko
*** These critical programs are missing or too old: compiler

lol

@vaartis yep, which is why i don't like glibc
@ky0ko
Hey, that's quite newsworthy. I'd expect to have heard it was possible from Phoronix. Maybe submit it there and get a few minutes of fame?
