FreeBSD publishes status report |
 |
The FreeBSD project has published its Quarterly Status Report for the months of January through March of 2020. The report includes updates to the project's infrastructure, X.Org support, and improvements to the operating system's Linux compatibility layer. The report also notes the GNU compiler has been dropped from future releases of FreeBSD: "In 2007 the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) migrated to GPLv3, which prompted discussions about the future of the FreeBSD tool chain. We held a Tool Chain Summit at BSDCan 2010. Roman Divacky gave an update on the ClangBSD project, building FreeBSD using the new and rapidly improving Clang compiler. Since that time Clang was imported into the FreeBSD base system and was used more and more widely - first being installed but not the default cc, then used by default on i386 and amd64, and later used on more and more targets. In the years since Dimitry Andric has been keeping our copy of Clang up-to-date. GCC 4.2.1 was kept in the tree for a few FreeBSD targets that hadn't migrated to Clang, such as MIPS and Sparc64. By early this year all remaining targets had migrated to external toolchain (contemporary GCC from ports or packages), or had been deprecated. With no in-tree consumers remaining, GCC 4.2.1 was removed from FreeBSD in r358454 on February 29, 2020." |
