on Linux, it is probably safer to read from /dev/urandom.

Hi Toke,
just a random thought:

I think we cannot rely on getrandom() being available on all systems.
It probably needs wrapping in sysdep code.
Have a nice fortnight

yes, please. "configure" was always intended to switch to a new

In Sherlock, we had three-way conditionals: if the condition was
undefined, neither the "then" nor "else" branch was executed, but
there could be an additional "undefined" branch. In retrospect,

I am going to be in Prague this week, so if you plan to meet,
I will be happy to join.

For many applications, text-based formats are too slow. This is the reason
why I prefer to base the structured format on CBOR, which is mu

Together with David Cepelik, we are experimenting with structured output
based on CBOR. You can expect some preliminar

... still, you have a good chance that Bird will be much faster
than Quagga on your workload.
