Initiative to reduce dependencies in libsystemd

Posted on

Developers of the system manager systemd are discussing the issue of reducing dependencies in the libsystemd library, which is linked not only with systemd components but also with many external applications. For example, in Fedora, over 150 packages use libsystemd as a dependency. The initiator of the discussion believes that including additional third-party libraries in libsystemd, which are not controlled by the systemd developers, significantly increases the attack surface […]

The Ussury project is developing a new standard C library

Posted on

The gradual adaptation of ONTL (Open NT Native Template Library) for the Linux operating system has begun (the ONTL project implements the standard C++11 library used for creating executable files for both the NativeAPI user space and the Windows OS kernel). The possibility of using C++ in the Linux kernel is fundamentally not considered, as it goes against established tradition. A small part of the C functions has been moved to a new […]
