GNU Hurd Adds 9pfs, OpenNTPD, and Dynamic /dev/ Entries
GNU Hurd gets 9pfs, OpenNTPD, dynamic /dev/ entries, and more
The GNU Hurd project has released its latest quarterly update, introducing experimental support for 9pfs and a work-in-progress port of OpenNTPD. A major kernel improvement now allows for dynamic /dev/ entries, eliminating the need for static translators for SATA devices. With ongoing enhancements to dhcpcd for better IPv6 support and new ports like Neovim, the operating system continues its steady, independent development path.
Reading about a bunch of people developing their own thing without any regard for or interest in the mainstream always feels a little bit like a cold glass of tonic – the best soft drink – in the depths of hell.
