Re: [dev] [OT] software recommendations

I've happily used syslinux forever but on those new fangled UEFI systems, `bootctl install` works well for me once that weirdo FAT /boot partition (aka the EFI System Partition aka ESP) is mounted. /me ducks

Mattias Andrée wrote: I did a search on the word, and it came up a lot. Oh, it is. AT files end with .S and NASM's with .asm. There are much more .S vs .asm - 38 vs 17. Why writing some code in one with one assembly and some with another, I wonder.

Mattias Andrée wrote: No it does not look like NASM, perhaps it was and older version that used it, perhaps only other parts of SYSLINUX, NASM is still used in SYSLINUX. It was a very long time since I looked that it. I checked pretty much every assembly file, no sign of NASM there. Too bad

Re: [dev] [OT] software recommendations

I like SYSLINUX, Lilo was a while goal but that is probably great too. I don't know if they can boot BSD but if they have their own bootloaders, you can chainload. The SYSLINUX bootmanager (stage 1) is written in NASM (assembly with sane syntax), and the SYSLINUX bootloader (stage 2) is written

[dev] [svmidi][PATCH] Prevent 'stuck' MIDI notes

Hi, I hope it is okay to continue sending send patches regarding svmidi to the suckless mailing list. If not, I will send future patches directly to Henrique. Here is a fix to prevent MIDI notes from getting 'stuck'. For details, see commit message and/or patch. Regards, Johnny Oskarsson
