Cross-pollination: odd edition – DragonFly BSD Digest

Cross-pollination: odd edition

I usually get all happy when I see sharing happen across BSDs, and note it here. Here’s an unexpected one: between DragonFly and Haiku.

Unexpected? Haiku uses FreeBSD’s ethernet & WiFi drivers via a compatibility layer, and FreeBSD often shares code with DragonFly, so maybe not so unexpected… ;)

I haven’t linked a Haiku item before and not that many people know code provenance unless they are watching commits… So unexpected seems like a good phrase here. I look forward to using words like “commonplace”.

Actually, there’s one item from 2017, about a Haiku GSoC project to port Linux DRM using DF’s compatibility layer:

But given the number of links you post, I guess it’s not easy to remember them all. ;)

I didn’t say unprecedented, just unexpected. :)
