A word to say the CVS tree can now be reached anonymously, read-only, at the following CVS root:
:pserver:anonymous@cvs.defora.org:/Data/CVS .

Please note that it is only updated every 24 hour.

By the way, the libc behaviour was unfortunately just pure luck.

A school project I was given orally finally has a somewhat decent subject, which also means a deadline. The timeline being real short I have spent a whole day on this inetd implementation, and it works in some cases.

Meanwhile I have been very busy at work too, but I have occasionaly worked on a small file browser in PHP, which has made its way onto Freshmeat and the DeforaOS CVS eventually. I'll add useful functionalities hopefully.

And finally, closer to DeforaOS I have spent a few minuts trying to get further with the libc, and I have figured out it actually works with at least one of my UNIX utilities implementations. I mean, there is code executed, despite the weird linking error message with "_start()". To be short, if this is not just pure luck I may unstuck the situation with the libc some time soon and write actual production code for it.

Being quite busy these days in life, the assembler effort is somewhat stuck until I find the motivation to kill my brain with x86 opcodes. Meanwhile I have added some code to the libc and utils projects, even though it is not the best I could have written overall. Still, better than nothing.

Next steps as I can think of today are as follows:
  • work on the website to ease projects monitoring;
  • define the versioning policies overall and per-project;
  • get the libc to work;
  • get back on the assembler;
  • get live with the utils.

After a break due to network policies upgrade, the CVS server is (a little bit) busy again, and is now hosting the assembler program effort [1]. It can parse sample assembly files by now, its code is readable here [2].

The servers have been down today from 11:30 to 12:30 (GMT) because of an electric shortage. For an undetermined reason my Cobalt RaQ servers did not reboot properly, it seems the firmware could not read my kernel on the unchecked ext3 filesystems. As I don't have any console cable and nothing was logged, I can't investigate more.

The project is now trying to get mature enough to actually get started. The ongoing work can obviously be seen on the website: it is a very long way to go. I will continue as long as I'll be blind and obstinate enough to go on, or simply disappointed about the current systems I get to use. Last updates include:
  • web site construction;
  • project reference work.
