As opposed to executing system calls -for requesting kernel services, rump programs do a library call into the kernel -code for equivalent functionality. Kernel code is simply recompiled as a -userspace shared library from the kernel sources instead of being rewritten, -so services imitate the same services being provided by the kernel. Select -architectures such as i386 and amd64 also support directly linking binary -kernel modules against rump programs. +This package provides file system driver support for the +filesystems/fs-utils package using vintage 2009 NetBSD. + +Newer versions are available by checking out the entire NetBSD source +and using buildrump.sh (https://github.com/anttikantee/buildrump.sh) |
