Hi Michael, Overall I like your package selection, but I also have a few questions:
* Did you consider using netbsd-curses[1] instead of ncurses? This probably won't work as is, because libtermkey as required by vis depends on the ncurses terminfo library. It might be worth investigating how much work it would be to either port libtermkey or provide the necessary terminfo symbols in netbsd-curses. * What is the justification for using ninja (I'm not really familiar with it). It seems like the only (non-toolchain) package requiring C++. Furthermore, you mentioned that you might write a compatible C replacement at some point, hence it must obviously be better than other existing alternatives. * Did you try how much of the system can be built using a C only toolchain like cparser+libfirm? * Why did you settle for perp instead of s6[2]? Again I'm not really familiar with either of them (besides reading their respective websites etc.). Just curious, it would be interesting to get your reasoning behind the package selection process. * Will you consider using BearSSL in the future, once it gets a bit more mature? Thanks for your work! Marc [1] https://github.com/sabotage-linux/netbsd-curses [2] http://skarnet.org/software/s6/
