[$] CircuitPython: Python for microcontrollers, simplified

1 év 1 hónap óta
CircuitPython is an open-source implementation of the Python programming language for microcontroller boards. The project, which is sponsored by Adafruit Industries, is designed with new programmers in mind, but it also has many features that may be of interest to more-experienced developers. The recent 9.1.0 release adds a few minor features, but it follows just a few months after CircuitPython 9.0.0, which brings some more significant changes, including improved graphics and USB support.

[$] Handling filesystem interruptibility

1 év 1 hónap óta
David Howells wanted to discuss changing the way filesystem code handles the ability to interrupt or kill operations, in order to fix some longstanding problems with network (and other) filesystems, in a session at the 2024 Linux Storage, Filesystem, Memory Management, and BPF Summit. As noted in his session proposal, some filesystems may be expecting to not be interruptible, but are calling code can take locks and mutexes that are interruptible (or killable), which are effectively changing the state of the task incorrectly. He would like to find a solution for that problem.

[$] The complexity of BUSL transformation

1 év 1 hónap óta

The Business Source License (BUSL) is a source-available license that "converts" to an open-source license after a period of time. In theory, this means that a few years after a version of a product is released under the BUSL, it becomes open source and is fair game for Linux distributions to package along with regular open-source projects. In practice, the license throws a few curveballs that require special consideration and caution, as the Fedora Project recently discussed.
