Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist * Package name : rumpkernel * URL : http://rumpkernel.org/ * License : quite a few (mostly BSD-style) Description : Rump kernels provide free, portable, componentized, kernel quality drivers such as file systems, POSIX system call handlers, PCI device drivers, a SCSI protocol stack, virtio and a TCP/IP stack. These drivers may be integrated into existing systems, or run as standalone unikernels on cloud hypervisors and embedded systems. URL: http://rumpkernel.org/
This package includes librump0 / librump-dev library, which allows applications to run and use Rump components (device drivers, file systems...) entirely on user-space. A particular demonstration of this is rumposs, a small program which interceps calls to OSS audio API, translates/redirects them to Rump which ultimately drives the audio chip entirely on user-space: https://github.com/robertmillan/rumposs -- Robert Millan
