Hi all, Speaking to him on IRC yesterday, Rob requested I send a mail to this list, so here goes. Having looked at the toybox site, I can say that my ideas and ideals and those of toybox are quite far apart from eachother, so don't expect me to have a big opinion about things. Things that triggered Rob's "I'm interested" response were an init system (tinit, see [1]) and a fancy unshare[2].
tinit is written from scratch and somewhat crappy at the moment; my main system is its sole user and it needs quite a few improvements to make it remotely usable for others. I intend to rewrite it a bit and replace the profile directory with a single file, to make it easier to use in containers. The fancy unshare is something I wrote when I felt like playing around with namespaces, without having to use lxc. I also have tdev on github, which is supposed to become a simple device manager at some point; currently it can parse udev rules (very ugly self written parser, probably should be replaced by something using ragel) and it can read a netlink socket. Then there is arpscan, which is somewhat silly and uses ualarm. That's all I have for now.
