FreeBSD core's position on Apple's APSL

| Development

I don’t like lawyer much, however, we all have to respect law :-) Apple has released some of their code under a license called “APSL”, what’s that? To quote Robert Watson, a FreeBSD core team member, APSL was considered as something like GPL/LGPL, which is acceptable for standard-alone userspace tools, however, should be taken carefully on kernel aspect.

OpenSource Project from... Microsoft??

| Development

Yes, you did saw the truth. There are some Open Source projects from Microsoft’s staff. I’m not sure whether this is permitted by the official authority, however, there is, licensed under CPL (Not GPL), which is an Open Source Initiative approved Open Source License.

FreeBSD 4.10-RC3 is delaying again

| Development

To summarize the release engineering process: 4.10-RC3 has delayed again so 4.10-RELEASE won’t be released soon. Recently, RELENG_4_10 branch has received several critical bugfixes. I personally requested a MFC for a security vulnerablity related with timedc, and Tim has MFC’ed some other security related fixes. Matthew Dillon has submitted some VM patches (committed by Ken Smith) and they all get into RC3.

gcc bug??

| Development

发现VC上面偶尔会用到的const_cast在gcc (c++)里面竟然不能用，郁闷，遂采用C-style cast，但我希望修正这个问题。

写一个Makefile不难，但写好一个Makefile可就不那么容易了……

| Development

以前觉得Ruslan Ermilov (ru at FreeBSD dot org, mdoc(7) maintainer)一般只是commit一些Makefile，在整个project里面不过是一个做简单maintain工作的角色，真到自己动手写Makefile的时候才发现，想把Makefile写好可真是太难了。
