I’m currently putting the finishing touches on a new MirBSD snapshot for i386, targetting FrOSCon. Due to German patent 69429378 (EP0618540) I had to update the sparc kernel (GENERIC and RAMDISK) as well though. For now, mount_msdos(8) LFN support is disabled entirely, but a code rewrite to support LFNs in FAT in a non-infringing way (although for a file with LFN, no SFN will be generated any more then) is planned already (just not done before FrOSCon). This situation, in general, sucks.
The HTML manpages have also been updated, and the PDF manpage for mksh is now PDF 1.4 — something closely resembling, if not, PDF/A actually.
The snapshot will, as usual, end up on the mirrors, i.e.
- Germany main (Strato) secure HTTP
- Japan (AllBSD.org) insecure HTTP
- USA insecure HTTP and FTP
