Package: wnpp Owner: Dimitri John Ledkov <xnox@debian.org> Severity: wishlist * Package name : libnih.la Version : 1.0.4 (git snapshot) Upstream Author : Dimitri John Ledkov (DD), Scott James Remnant (DD) * URL or Web page : https://github.com/xnox/libnih/tree/kfreebsd http://libnih.la/ * License : GPL v2 Architecture : kfreebsd-any (hurd-any - maybe later) Description : portable libnih implementation I would like to package a temporary fork of libnih, which has been ported to kFreeBSD/eglibc platform. My plan for this package is to provide same packages as the src:libnih, but for non-Linux ports only. At the moment I have a port to kFreeBSD/eglibc. This is separate source package as the supported set of APIs is not yet fully same as of the Linux port of libnih. For example kqueue/kevent technology is not yet used to provide, e.g. file level notification as done with inotify in the linux port. Some of my patches have already been accepted upstream (https://github.com/keybuk/libnih), others are under review and some are not ready for submission yet. All libnih test-suite passes on kFreeBSD for those components that have been ported. Together with this effort, I am staging patches for Upstart itself for kFreeBSD/eglibc https://code.launchpad.net/~xnox/upstart/kfreebsd. It compiles, but at the moment is still incomplete. The test-suite does not pass yet and there are no kFreeBSD specific bridges yet (e.g. devd events, instead of udev, etc.). I'm hoping to have a bootable kFreeBSD/eglibc port soon, with full support ahead of Jessie freeze on 5th of November 2014. The requirements for libnih/kfreebsd, at the moment are, eglibc 2.18 & kFreeBSD kernels with fixed waitid/wait6 syscalls. These are all present in Debian experimental. Alternatively, if lower eglibc versions are required I could easily use wait6 syscall directely, without eglibc wrapper. In that case only requirements would be patched kFreeBSD kernels for the kern/184002 http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=184002&cat= bug which I discovered in FreeBSD. It's fixed in current/11, and is on track to be fixed in 9.2, 10 stable updates. I believe patch for that issue is already in debian packaging of FreeBSD kernels. I haven't started HURD port just yet, as I'm more familiar with FreeBSD. Regards, Dimitri.--To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-REQUEST@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
