How are things progressing? I haven't heard any news in a while so I'm dreading that this project is turning out to be vaporware.
Know that there are many of us who would one day like to run your operating system! Please don't give up!

lol, I just noticed that they haven't implemented ls. I might throw them a bone and do it later

I know you're desperately trying to force that meme so that if someone else finally makes the same ``joke'' you can tell him something that may surprise him, but it's not working. Instead, you just look kind of sad.

Know an efficient way of recursing directories in conformance with POSIX H, L, and P options that doesn't blow up on directory graphs containing cycles? The guy doing cp ran into that problem the last I heard.

there is no -P. also, recursively listing subdirectories with -R only follows symlinks with -L, not with -H: http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/utilities/ls.html -R
Recursively list subdirectories encountered. When a symbolic link to a directory is encountered, the directory shall not be recursively listed unless the -L option is specified.
and i'd say that anyone stupid enough to use -L and -R together without considering the consequences deserves to have it blow up.

Just store a stack of (device,inode) pairs for each ancestor and check for duplicates whenever you follow a link.

Yes, I'm sure POSIX only included -L because their stupid.

also, The ls utility shall detect infinite loops; that is, entering a previously visited directory that is an ancestor of the last file encountered. When it detects an infinite loop, ls shall write a diagnostic message to standard error and shall either recover its position in the hierarchy or terminate.
POSIX says how to make it not blow up.

>>14 http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/utilities/cp.html If the -P option was specified, cp shall copy any symbolic link specified as a source_file operand and any symbolic links encountered during traversal of a file hierarchy, and shall not follow any symbolic links.
Also, I think -R and -L together should perform an graph traversal, but that might be a little difficult.

So what is this Anonix? A system developed by Anonymous? What does it provide what Linux/Mac/Windows doesn't have except another license?

So far it has several shell utilities, whereas Linux has none.

Not a real answer to my question, furthermore, Linux has.

Some of the Anoncoreutils are several times faster than GNU's implementations, and all of them are certainly smaller. On the old REchan there were several threads that benchmarked Anoncoreutils vs GNU coreutils, but those have since been lost. Wouldn't be too hard to reproduce the results though.
Rise from your sleep(), and prepare yourselves for some upcoming projects -- both proposed by The REchan Management (whose full name carries a connotation that some may find unpleasant), and you, the users!
The beast moves. ^__^

I would have contributed if didn't have a stupid name. Anoncoreutils fails equally as GNU.

We have some other (hopefully interesting) projects lined up for you guys besides A/X and ACU. What they are exactly I can't say right now, but they are SICP-related.
I don't think that subbing SICP lectures with animu subs is something people do in reddit or digg.

That gives me an idea.
The SICP lectures should have those subtitles that change colour as they're spoken - that way you can sing/lecture along with the sussman.

>>38 THE SUSSMAN does kind of lecture a bit fast compared to Abelson. It's a bit easier to follow Abelson in the videos. This is not a bad idea.

We're teaching 1950s japan how to program? How will we send the files?
