Software Development

Develop HyperBK (Hyper Berkeley Kernel), a BSD descendant kernel with GPL-compatible licenses preserved, non-compatible ones removed, and new code written under GPL-3 for HyperbolaBSD.

TODO:

• Download OpenBSD kernel source code from OpenBSD site → DONE

• Download LibertyBSD scripts to deblob and rebrand kernel from their scripts. → DONE

• Create a new project in Hyperbola Git called hyperbk. → DONE

• Push source to HyperBK’s project. → DONE

• Rebrand OpenBSD kernel to HyperbolaBSD with LibertyBSD scripts. → DONE

• Rebrand entire code (functions, variable, pointers, etc) under HyperbolaBSD → DONE

• Remove files under non GPL-compatible licenses → DONE

• Import code from another BSD systems under GPL-compatible licenses → IN PROGRESS

• Remove remaining nonfree files don't found from LibertyBSD scripts → IN PROGRESS

• Write new code under GPL-3 → IN PROGRESS

• Package HyperBK for HyperbolaBSD.

PATCHING NOTE

When the check concerns kernel, we obviously want to match with HyperbolaBSD.

Example of triplet check:	hyperbolabsd)
Example of uname -s check:	HyperbolaBSD)
Example of uname -r check:	0.1)
Example of C macro check:	defined(__HyperbolaBSD__)

The actual behavior is to create mount points if mountpoint exits with exit status 1, however it may also exit with code 32 and thus creating a real mess:

$ sudo chroot-nspawn
Spawning container megver83 on /var/lib/archbuild/chroot1/megver83
Press ^] three times within 1s to kill container.
mount: /sys/fs/cgroup: mount point does not exist.
mkdir: cannot create directory '/sys/fs/cgroup/blkio': No such file or directory
ln: failed to create symbolic link '/sys/fs/cgroup/cpu': No such file or directory

mount: /sys/fs/cgroup/blkio: mount point does not exist.
mount: /sys/fs/cgroup/cpuset: mount point does not exist.
mount: /sys/fs/cgroup/devices: mount point does not exist.
mount: /sys/fs/cgroup/freezer: mount point does not exist.
mount: /sys/fs/cgroup/memory: mount point does not exist.
mount: /sys/fs/cgroup/pids: mount point does not exist.

So I created a patch to fix this.

P.S.: although I can git clone the repo with ssh access, whenever I do a push I get:

error: remote unpack failed: unable to create temporary object directory
To ssh://git.hyperbola.info:51100/~git/software/chroot-nspawn.git
 ! [remote rejected] master -> master (unpacker error)
error: failed to push some refs to 'ssh://git.hyperbola.info:51100/~git/software/chroot-nspawn.git'

Do I have the permission to write in this repo? If not, I’d like it, as I’m planning to improve this great script

As proposed in a separate thread (https://forums.hyperbola.info/viewtopic.php?id=573): The navigation-bar needs a rework when accessing the website about the onion-protocol.

Create hypertools to replace libretools package for HyperbolaBSD and GNU/Linux

It’s long period to develop this package.
For now, a systemd-nspawn wrapper is being developed for “libretools”[0]
