mksh’s Build.sh can now generate Makefrag.inc snippets that reflect its environment and can be used like Rebuild.sh or integrated in, for example, the Android.mk files.

mksh(1) also is a great compiler testsuite: it regularily(!) points out bugs in gcc’s -fwhole-program --combine and helped to find (and fix) bugs in huge things like SunStudio, old things made modern like pcc, as well as one-man projects such as nwcc ☺
I wish compiler authors would just use mksh as testsuite regularily.

I released a new version of jupp for Unix® today: joe-3.1jupp12 (including a backported hex editing mode, as a late birthday present for waga (from IRC) who asked for it, a plethora of bug fixes, raw octet support in UTF-8 mode, UTF-8 support in the 8-bit modes, and more changes. If you already use it, update please. If not, give it a try! It’s included in at least FreeWRT already, and I build Debian packages (link on the jupp website) in my “play repository”, as well as packages for Univention Corporate Server at work (from these packages). I’m also using it on Solaris 8, Solaris 10 and AIX 5.3 ☻ (and many more)

There are currently quite a lot more things I would like to do but can’t seem to find the time for. I had originally planned a new MirBSD snapshot, including ISO, for mid→end of September — now, end of October seems more likely (if I can get a few days off work and some RAM for the SPARCstation 5). Several things, like the mksh prompt wlog entry and webpages for a few subprojects (BSD::arc4random; arc4random.c; the RANDEX protocol, plugins, implementations, proxies; kwalletcli; keystash) are lacking too, and the Grml project is also expecting code from me. Sorry. I am, after all, human too…
