New mirror in Taiwan

TWAREN in Taiwan has set up a new DragonFly mirror, including pkgsrc binary packages.  I think there are a few other new mirrors on the download page that I missed over the past few months – check for one near you.

Yet another scheduler

During a discussion of disk activity while doing a bulk build of pkgsrc, Roman Divacky posted a link to the Anticipatory Disk Scheduler, which should be portable to DragonFly.  Whether it would help or not is another question.

Always did like NeXTStep

I just found Etoile (screenshots linked) today; it’s apparently a GNUStep-based desktop.  This would be of interest to people who like the Windowmaker (or even Mac OS X) interface  No version in pkgsrc yet, so I don’t know if it compiles…

Release delayed

The release will be ‘soon‘.  There’s still some bugs to work out, the most notable of which is that vinum has some serious issues that have been revealed by updating the disk code.
