Minutes of the HelenOS hangout 2021-11-11 =========================================
Attendees --------- * JS - Jiri Svoboda * VK - Vit Kabele Scribe: JS Round Table ----------- VK - Linux syscall emulation * Written as part of his master's thesis * It works, though he doesn't consider it 'production quality * Can run simple statically-linked binary (e.g. busybox) * Dynamically-linked executables not supported * https://git.kabele.me/vitkabele/helenos * Would like to eventually finish this and merge upstream, but not sure when it will happen JS * Preparing for 0.11.2 release * Unit test are all OK * During testing, ran into kernel test hangs on ia64/ski, sparc64/ultra and sparc64/niagara; these can be reproduced with old releases, so it's not new defects (in terms of code), so won't be considered stoppers for release * Still need to triage tickets, improve release notes with screenshots and prepare What's new screencast * Still don't have the credentials for uploading to helenos.org Free discussion --------------- * VK: Current activity level? Releases? JS: See github. Preparing for second release this year. * VK: Project direction? Embedded use? JS: While we don't preclude server and embedded, nobody is actively working in that area currently. I am working mostly on desktop. [1] Editor's notes: 1. HelenOS new, unique TUI capability makes it pretty pleasant to use with servers and embedded systems that only have a serial console
