i researched various options via googling around as well as asking
this mailing list and it looks like the best thing would be to run
netbsd in a virtual environment. for the same, would "qemu" be
considered good enough? if it is,
running a netbsd vm on a google compute engine is a nice idea, but
that makes me dependent on the network, something which cannot be
trusted to not fail.

freebsd has an internal focus to become a good server operating system.

why do i get 2 emails every time there's a reply to any email by me or
to me? earlier i thought it was my mail client (mailx) which was doing
something crazy, but it isn't so, a simply reply to netbsd-users goes
out and sends me 2 copies of that same mail. like clock-work.
there used to be a filesystem called the log-structured filesystem
which was a great idea but poorly implemented in 'bsd'.
i have heard that freebsd and openbsd have opted to remove it, but
netbsd kept it active and even continued development on it from
4.x onwards.
is it true? what is that
i read somewhere that the netbsd project now mandates that all new code be c99.
i believe that mandate stands true for updates to old code too.
may i know the rationale for insisting of c99 when c89 was just fine for so
many years? also if the change was inevitable, then why not a newer standard
would netbsd be categorized as a project that is primarily meant for people
who are experienced at the unix way?
i haven't experienced any hostility out here (unlike at openbsd), but the
typical default install does feel scary.
while i possess decent technical skills, i lack knowledge of
ansi-c which i believe would be a must to read the source of
the netbsd kernel and most of the userland.
my question is; what topics should i acquire command over to
understand the netbsd kernel source with the intent of
documenting it?
i have been a programmer since 1991, but have
always written applications, mostly with c++.
i don't have any formal training in the field
of computer science, though i do have a
professional diploma in network centered
computing; something which would be called a
community college education is the
quite some time back, there was a discussion where-in
a netbsd old-timer had mentioned that he had a draft
for an introduction to netbsd and it's administration
which he'd planned to release as a book.
i don't remember that person's name, but do remember
him to be the same person who had developed
would the book "modern operating systems" by tanenbaum and bos,
be good enough to prepare one to start study of the internals?
if i remember correctly, c99 is not allowed
within the userland that is closest to the
kernel, i.e. those tools and utilities which
are required just after the kernel boots up.
given that, is c99 permitted within the
kernel?
would the ifunc capability be useful under netbsd?
https://jasoncc.github.io/gnu_gcc_glibc/gnu-ifunc.html
gnu/linux obviously has it, and freebsd have their own
implementation.
there's a similar but way more advanced technology
provided under solaris/illumos called sunw_cap.
do consider.
i intend to follow the self-training regimen mentioned below;
c primer plus (prata)
c programming: a modern approach (king)
c unleashed (heathfield, kirby)

thank you.
i would like to understand how pkgsrc determines the
dependencies for a given package, and how does it go
about handling them during installs, uninstalls, etc.
i've heard about some such systems using "sat solvers".
is there a similar sub-system being used by pkgsrc?
