Not much happening - SoC & cksum(1) hacking
The past few days were slow, mostly filled with reallife.
The Summer-of-Code front is slowly evolving, discussing possible
projects and listing them
on our website.
Students will be able to send in project applications starting May 1st
(to May 8th), but as usual, discussion to identify
details that we hope to see in the applications
is encouraged already.
Personally, I did some work on cksum(1) to implement checksum verification.
I've wished that ever since, as NetBSD releases come with those nice
checksum files (BSDSUM CKSUM MD5 SHA512 SYSVSUM). Now this can be
done a bit easier:
miyu% cksum -o 1 -c BSDSUM
miyu% cksum -o 2 -c SYSVSUM
miyu% cksum -c CKSUM
miyu% cat MD5 SHA512 | cksum -c
miyu%
Still not 100% optimal, but that is due to the format of the first
three files. Maybe something to change in the future...
