Port the Enlightenment desktop environment to #NetBSD

https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/programs/2026/projects/mifwPqCq

@AFresh1 on #NetBSD :

#sysupgrade auto https://nycdn.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD-daily/netbsd-X/latest/amd64

For packages :

#pkgin update
#pkgin full-upgrade

Edit:

For packages only #pkgin upgrade
as pointed by @jperkin Thanks :)

Has anyone tried #NetBSD/aarch64 11 RC3 on the #RaspberryPi Zero 2W?

I think #NetBSD #pkgsrc foundation can take this initiative : @netbsd

#FreeBSD had proceeded some parts of "abstraction" in this several decades.
For example, separation of buses (like ISA, PCI, USB, ...) and devices connected to any of the buses called "newbus" when it was introduced, GEOM for disks, NETGRAPH for networks. But the appoaches would be different with #NetBSD.
Putting newbus (current implementation) aside, others were for "flexibilities" over "abstraction for compatibilities".

My understanding in difference between aproaches of FreeBSD and of NetBSD would be...
FreeBSD: Make it work and stable, fast for running platform in production first. Then, consider making it portable.

NetBSD: Make it elegant and portable by separating machine independent (MI) parts and machine dependent (MD) parts. Then, making it stable would be easier to achieve. So the next would be performance tunings.

Link to document about newbus (already not "new" bus but "current" bus, though):
https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/arch-handbook/newbus/

Finally found the #Pkgsrc news about Q1 2026:
https://mail-index.netbsd.org/netbsd-announce/2026/03/27/msg000392.html
As the pkgsrc.org site has no announcements since 2025 I guess there's a gap in the doc process, after role shuffling. Continued activity as shown by charts: https://pkgsrc.se/statistics.php

Also: it seems the #NetBSD Wii is actually on the Fediverse, because yes of course it is... Its owner can be found at @ltning

(I hope I am not starting a DDoS on that poor Wii by posting this...) ☹️

And... When the guy^W dev^W madman^W Absolute Programming God who is responsible for the Wii port of #NetBSD actually likes your post about running a blog on a Wii with NetBSD, you have reached a level of Meta-information I did not think was possible. 😂

Thanks for everything @jmcneill !!

(Now, where the heck did I put my Nintendo Wii...?)

Something I discovered recently:

This is a blog, hosted on a Nintendo Wii running #netbsd ... Pretty cool!

@mrgtwentythree @slava @eschaton #NetBSD is way underrated @netbsd :)

So, #NetBSD ships with #ZFS support but not the encryption feature. Because... you're supposed to do disk encryption with cdg whatever filesystem you are using?
