Revert "repo rework: Remove stubs; Breaks repo compat." Revert "repo rework: Remove need for repos to be self-aware" This reverts commit a2b2f4d6427914cdcdb59943dd8e4a0bfdcd53ee. This reverts commit 602076ef82647a48fd10f4d1ec830bb4242f9eb6. This reverts commit 5ffaf72c8a74a7eb6827e4d2b1f47c9360ddaefe. These changes break the build on Haiku and the ability to create repo mirrors, for the lack of a replacement for the URL (an UUID was evoked on the mailing lists, but not implemented). We are due for a release soon, please don't break the build.
Haiku
Homepage | Mailing Lists | IRC Channels | Issue Tracker | API docs
Haiku is an open-source operating system that specifically targets personal computing. Inspired by the BeOS, Haiku is fast, simple to use, easy to learn and yet very powerful.
Goals
- Sensible defaults with minimal configuration required.
- Clean, clear, concise code.
- Unified desktop environment.
Trying Haiku
Haiku provides pre-built nightly images and release images. Haiku is compatible with a large variety of hardware, but in case you don't want to "take the plunge" and install Haiku on bare metal, you can install it on a virtual machine (VM) instead. If you've never used a VM before, you can follow one of the "Emulating Haiku" guides.
Compiling Haiku
See ReadMe.Compiling.
