Stuff that are built but need to be made more stable (porting is just the first step)

  • bash builds and runs. I have switched apexp-sh to use bash as default login shell. I will run with it for a while until I am certain that it is ready to replace the old APE pdksh.
    • I have managed to build minimal bash with nojobs
    • It does not crash, but for example when executing configure, I get this errror: "too many files open in shell". This means that there still is something weird that we need to fix in bash before it is useable. It is a very important step forward, because some configure scripts do not work in our old pdksh.

Stuff that are uploaded to sys/src/external or sys/src/ape/lib but are not (yet) built by default:

  • ObjC-to-C transpiler recompilation from ObjC sources (bootstrap from C sources done)
  • BaCon BASIC-to-C transpiler
  • A fresh attempt at the Cfront (old) C++-to-C transpiler.
  • GNU tar (to integrate xz etc)
  • to consider: replace sbase with GNU coreutils?
  • chicken scheme-to-C transpiler
  • perl
