Topic: Skalibs

skalibs by L. Bercot is a collection of useful C libs on Unix systems. It is found on skarnet.org , along with other works by Bercot.

It is used as a dependency of mdevd, which has been suggested somewhere as a potential partial replacement for udev in server installations. Another reverse dependency is s6, an init and service management system similar to runit. There is also a httpd server called tipidee on skarnet, but I do not know whether it constitutes any improvement over free nginx.

The library as such builds nicely here with 0.4.2 but I did not yet install it because I could not see whether it is actually useful in the current situation of hyperbola.

Re: Skalibs

The idea is current oriented on smdev as we would need in both cases (mdev) also more dependencies.

Human being in favor with clear principles and so also for freedom in soft- and hardware!

Certainly anyone who has the power to make you believe absurdities has the power to make you commit injustices: For a life of every being full with peace and kindness, including diversity and freedom. Capitalism is destroying our minds, the planet itself and the universe in the end!
