@mcc even the ars technica writers fell into the classic trap of anthropomorphising larry ellison :/

@xerz @cafkafk hey, we've had hurd-amd64 for almost a year now! and it almost entirely works! it's still uniprocessor tho

@xerz @cafkafk but also: yes. as a wee lass (i was 19) i wrote a GPT driver (it only had MBR) for the hurd and got hit with arguing with a foundation lawyer. honestly, thibault is the world's strongest soldier for managing to do anything constructive in this environment

"FreeBSD ports call OSSP software »LICENSE= MIT« (&c.), but OSSP software isn't MIT (&c.)", in which a significant proportion of OSSP software in the FreeBSD ports tree is misattributed: an epic for the ages https://lists.sr.ht/~nabijaczleweli/ossp/%3Cbyjcsfzkijbtq6gsttwtffbnmtxureozobxd3xyrbgig5qsio2@tarta.nabijaczleweli.xyz%3E

rip to ossp-sa :/ https://bugs.debian.org/1081186

in a continued trend of programmer illiteracy, gentoo says ossp-uuid is ISC (it's not)

https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo/pull/38536

fedora also calls ossp-uuid MIT (https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/uuid/blob/aa05b8cceb71977f6fc664f646456cf18f8b20fc/f/uuid.spec#_11). it's still not MIT

should've posted this ITS before i started archiving OSSP, it'd be half-way done by now :/ https://bugs.debian.org/1081555

i think ossp-iselect is undistributable without at least repacking since it has "all rights reserved" files

what was in the air in 1997 bro

i already had to install backports go to debug the list archive import, i dont want to learn go more than "moving hunks around" for this

i had to learn more go for my debbug 😔 (who knew someone would want to codify C-style inheritance and then call it something non-obvious like "embedded fields") https://lists.sr.ht/~xenrox/hut-dev/%3C8e0c536f50a5e6ee27bd43de3f4b854da121c0fe.1725657594.git.nabijaczleweli@nabijaczleweli.xyz%3E

Happy to freeze the OSSP mirror now: https://lfs.nabijaczleweli.xyz/0022-OSSP.org-mirror/

had to translate the remaining manuals from pod to mdoc because pod2man generates broken pages lol; but, be hold: https://srhtcdn.githack.com/~nabijaczleweli/ossp-uuid/blob/man~000/ossp-uuid.pdf
