Cosmopolitan C Library: "build-once run-anywhere c without devops"
https://justine.lol/cosmopolitan/index.html
Purports to create small ~40kb executables that run on Linux, Mac, Windows, FreeBSD, and OpenBSD. In the same binary.
Because diversity matters, after github and gitlab the #FreeBSD src and doc tree has now an official mirror on @codeberg
powered by gitea :
https://codeberg.org/freebsd
pkg 1.16.0 is out:
Main highlights:
- Add support for RISC-V
- plist now supports '@include <anotherfile>'
- Keywords can now validate the plist syntax
- Keywords can issue a deprecation warning if needed
- Add support for triggers
- pkg create -e now will create a package with a readable MANIFEST
Following up with #FreeBSD transitioning from subversion to git, the doc and src tree has been officially mirrored on gitlab!
https://gitlab.com/freebsd/freebsd-doc and https://gitlab.com/freebsd/freebsd-src
The ports tree will follow when migrated in march!
The source of truth being https://cgit.freebsd.org
CFT: pkg 1.16 (in pkg-devel in the #FreeBSD ports tree)
New features:
- @include for plist
- lua scripts can have real arguments
- plist keyword syntax can be validated in lua
- shell and lua triggers
- improvements in audit, info and create commands
- plenty of bug fixes
- plenty of new bugs 🙃

If you've watched our video on the takedown of youtube-dl, you know how important it is that Github has reversed course and reinstated the repository. This is a strong commitment to the rights of the developer community, and we hope it sets an example. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2020/11/github-reinstates-youtube-dl-after-riaas-abuse-dmca https://twitter.com/EFF/status/1324833472553209856
