I've had for a long time a couple of utilities ported from Minix to FreeBSD, among others: * mostly complete Bourne shell. Here's the size for a static binary: # size sh text data bss dec hex filename 47551 1632 3376 52559 cd4f sh * mined - Minix editor. Nice and small full-screen editor. The keybindings are plain crazy, but easily changeable. Supports regex, search and replace and other features. # size mined text data bss dec hex filename 35779 1224 7808 44811 af0b mined * others: ftpd, telnetd Generally speaking, porting this stuff is quite easy, but I didn't have enough motivation to do it with other utilities. Now, my question is: should they go to ports, or under tinyware? Mined and msh had been there already once upon a time, but then removed due to incompatible old license. Any thoughts?
