Whee!
Whoops – I managed to somehow not put the correct publish date on this when I started filling it out. Hopefully it reappears in people’s feeds again. especially cause I did some hardcore link/tab/RSS cleanouts this week.
New to me, at least, on the DragonFly images page.
This week’s BSD Now is almost all FreeBSD-related, with mention of something I haven’t investigated enough yet: helloSystem.
NYCBUG’s on Zoom, tonight at 18:45 eastern.
If you enjoy the weekend reading, or even the weekday posts, consider my Patreon. It’d be nice if it bought me some good coffee.
Your unrelated to anything at all image of the week: Saskatchewan!
I’ll post reminders day-of for the BUG meetings.
This week’s BSD Now is a little sad about FreeBSD 13/i386 going to a less-supported platform, but there’s plenty of links to other stories.
LibreSSL in DragonFly has had a minor update, from 3.2.3 to 3.2.4, thanks to Daniel Fojt. It’s a bugfix update, but I’m using it as a chance to remind everyone you can use LibreSSL for everything in dports, too.
If you’re running on DragonFly master, make sure you are on the right version of bmake. If you are on 5.8, it won’t affect you.
Well, that’s not exactly correct: you can mount more than one tmpfs, and you can mount multiples at the same spot, but I can’t think of a reason to do so. In fact, it could happen by accident, but there’s a fix for that in DragonFly, thanks to Aaron LI. Not a major problem, but mentioning it in case you saw it and were confused.
Today’s date is slightly confusing.
There’s a lot to catch up on!
Because there’s a newer version of sh(1) in DragonFly, you may need to update your 5.8 system to continue building ports from source. Binary installation through pkg still works as expected so this may not affect you.
The menacing BSD Now for this week covers a bunch of stuff, not just post hoc arguments, but there’s a special request: old retail BSD software. If you have older commercial disks or images floating around, they want to know.
There’s a new build of DragonFly 5.8 binary packages available. There’s a sudo fix in there for the recent public cross-platform CVE it had, plus the linked announcement describes how to get around a pkg upgrade bug.
Another informal history theme, not uncommon.
Your unrelated music link of the week: Best electronic music on Bandcamp, January 2021.
I have a link backlog, yay!
It’s been a quiet week, but at least we have the regular BSD Now episode to hear. They talk about Plan 9 this week, which I guess isn’t BSD but still entertains me.
