I've been looking at the source code for some of the Minix utilities that replace the standard GNU coreutils. I noticed several Minix based utilities in the Elks (elkscmd) source tree. I also noticed Minix itself seems to be switching to using BSD based utilities and is no longer using many of these programs. Am curious about the pros and cons of using the Minix code versus the NetBSD/FreeBSD code for basic utilities. Anyone have any opinions? Am also curious if there's been any progress on the BusyElks project and how things are going with it. Don't know if anyone's interested, but I've been experimenting with a modified version of PicoBSD's msh and attempting to add enough bash features to it to be able to run scripts I have for building various applications. It's still in the works, but I'm making some progress.
