been dealt with, and the remainder is less than 15 right now<br/><br/>next week we&#39;ll switch back to ordinary PR reviews (you&#39;ll see once the PR template changes) 2026-09-27T17:20:57Z

sentence wasn&#39;t clear enough, we have a more elaborate AI policy now: <a

coming days you&#39;ll most likely see packaging for systemd appear in the repo<br/><br/>no decision to switch init has been made, but we&#39;ll be switching to a clean upstream build for udev, systemd-boot, and the small tools we already rely on (tmpfiles and sysusers) to reduce the overhead of patching stuff every time<br/><br/>packaging for the init itself will appear by side effect and will be around for evaluation (don&#39;t expect it to work well at the moment)<br/><br/>there are no plans to support multiple inits so in long term it&#39;s going to be one or the other, but at the moment switching is out of the question unless it proves itself to work really well without getting in the way of maintenance 2025-12-02T02:06:25Z

that is now in the distro:<br/><br/>- based on freebsd 15.0-release<br/><br/>- plenty of upstream changes, such as...<br/>- `find` supports `-printf`<br/>- `cp` supports long options<br/>- `cp` can merge directories<br/>- `du` uses libxo (machine parseable output in many formats as requested)<br/>- `id` can retrieve more data (e.g. homedir and shell)<br/>- `stat` can find holes<br/>- and more<br/><br/>- some downstream enhancements too<br/>- `printf` supports `%q` (shell quoting)<br/>- `xargs` supports `--arg-file`<br/>- `mv` supports atomic file swapping (`-x`)<br/>- `command -v` in `sh` is now a bit more relaxed (additional arguments are ignored and not an error), like dash<br/>- `ls` will display files even if it can&#39;t `stat` them (e.g. stale sshfs mounts)

anyone tell you otherwise 2025-10-06T14:00:22Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsws92dvyv7uexfn46595q7ysd7fhu3a4d0juhh7vzevghasgs30hczypf9pyyj9t4uatgm5q6su6adcdx7fsk7f3s7a2908rkqvpqqgmtlzp7f0ku well while we&#39;re at stupid controversies and since this is a fresh account it&#39;s a good chance to reiterate some stuff<br/><br/>- fossbros suck<br/>- having principles and sticking with them is cool<br/>- keep politics in free software because it&#39;s the only meaningful thing we have<br/>- in a supposedly community project you do what&#39;s best for your community (no it doesn&#39;t matter what sponsorship $sketchy_entity offers you)<br/>- anyone can be a part of your thing in their own way (it doesn&#39;t matter whether they can code, or anything else), meritocracy advocates are full of shit<br/>- look out for those that are vulnerable and give them a comfy space<br/><br/>i probably missed something but you get the idea :3<br/><br/>meow~ 2025-04-27T00:39:00Z
