Every step must be taken to move away from the cancer that GNU is, infesting almost every aspect of the modern UN*X system (core utilities, standard libraries, make, ...). > But granted, that the cleanest solution would be to base all suckless > tools on 9base/mk instead. mk is nice, but there is just not enough "spread" of it to justify using it. Everyone with a toolchain has a POSIX compliant make utility. The problem with 9base/mk is that many people don't associate the two. Maybe it would be wiser to separate mk from the rest and offer it as a single package. Getting it packaged would be quite a bit of work - but possible - and then it would be justified to create a hard dependency on mk for different suckless tools.
