Hm... I don't know.
Hey, who's working on what? I'm fiddling with:
- Trying to get PT_{GET,SET}FPREGS to work so gdb can do floating
point registers. (I'm actually not making any progress on this
front... I have no idea why what I wrote doesn't work.)
- Trying to get SIGFPE and fp{get,set}sticky to work, so powerpc will
pass the tests in src/regress. (Having problems with PowerPC FPU
semantics vs expected fp{get,set}sticky semantics that I keep
meaning to send mail about...)
- Writing a (simple) Mac-format partitioning tool for NetBSD (a la
i386's fdisk and MkLinux's pdisk) and making the disklabel code deal
with random partitionings so you can mix NetBSD and MacOS/Linux more
easily. (The first part is mostly done.)
I've also sort of been poking around sys/miscfs and Inside Macintosh:
Files with vague thoughts of writing hfs code if no one else was going
to do it. :)
But I keep getting busy with work stuff, so I'm not making a lot of
progress on anything really.
