"A full implementation of the POSIX 2008 standard" that means an entire operating system (including shell, commands, etc) "A cross platform implementation, that should replace existing implementations of the system core libraries" posix syscalls cannot be implemented in a cross platform way, they depend on system internals "The main goal of the libposix project is to successfully replace free Unix 'libc' implementations with an implementation that is portable, conformant,.." posix >> libc i wonder what they mean by portable, because even the c std lib can not be implemented in pure c: malloc or setjump depend on system internals or syscalls, or memcpy etc should be optimized for the cpu architecture.. maybe they want something like plan9port but with posix, anyway it seems vaporware to me
