Anyone know anything about PureDarwin [1]? I assume if it actually gets some traction that there will be MacPorts support for it. ?? [1] http://puredarwin.org/
It looks to me like puredarwin.org is something like what opendarwin.org wanted to have: a fully functional darwin-based desktop/server OS other than Mac OS X. On 29 Apr 2007, at 20:38, cremes.devlist@mac.com wrote:

Probably not. We tried supporting darwin and opendarwin installations, but the developers and port maintainers generally were unable to test on those systems, so support got dropped.

I think all we know by the evidence so far is that puredarwin.org is a web site. I've spoken to the people behind it and said I'd check back with them in a year since, by all indications, it appears to me that they are at least a year off from becoming anything substantially more than a web site. There's way more work involved than even they know, I think, and 12 months should be enough time for them to either make substantial progress in working through all the issues or give up and decide to do other things. In the meantime, of course, there is a web site. :-) - Jordan On Apr 29, 2007, at 6:40 PM, Randall Wood wrote:

Looking into it a bit deeper on my own, I see that puredarwin.org is pure vaporware. I thought I had missed out on an announcement but I now see that there is nothing there yet. Regardless, I wish them luck. cr On Apr 29, 2007, at 9:26 PM, Jordan K. Hubbard wrote:
