Less GPL, Less Bloat

Email: 

Joseph Mallett writes "We've now removed most (all?) of the GPL code.

Also, we've integrated the RTMach Lites code, for better

application-level compat with modern operating systems.

We've got a few individuals working on porting either

FreeBSD or OpenBSD device driver frameworks to xMach

so that our native drivers (as the Linux ones are gone) will

be wider and varying than the (extremely) limited Mach

drivers that we currently have. We're also removing all

code not pertinent to Mach4 (i.e. OSFMACH and Mach3)

as part of our new 'slogan'(?): Proactively Unbloated.

Eventually, non bloat will lead to lessening the amount

of code to do certain things, which would hopefully lead to

better optimisation. As always, we're looking for people to

help, and we'll soon have mailing lists and a CVS server,

and possibly a GNATS database."
