GRU Devlog 9 - orsh, orion, bootloader, GRU xmpp room and logo
This week I didn’t commited a lot, but started some new projects. I made orsh signal handling working (so it won’t exit on ^C) and homedir “handling” (can replace homedir in prompt with ~, and you can use ‘cd ~’ or just ‘cd’ to change dir to homedir)
Also I started making bootloader, but for now it can only detect what CPU is (intel if x86 and amd if x86_64), some additional instructions (msr) and if apic is avalible.
I was trying to make something with orion fs, maybe it will use pak files for initrd. Currently i am making archiver for it, but after that i will need to understand more how vfs working and rewrite initrd to use pak files.
We now have xmpp room (gru@conference.hmm.st) and logo! Thanks to chunk for it!
I was thinking about making weekly or monthly “conferences”. We could do it via jitsi tildeverse instance or tilde.tel (tel.tilde.org.nz) conference. I think jitsi is better, but we should try tilde.tel confernce at least once, why not? :)
Hope you liked this post and you will join our XMPP muc :). If you would like to help me, contact me via email, xmpp or irc :)

GRU Devlog 8 - orsh and published initrd
This week I have published initrd, but it is not working as expected.
Also I have started one more project - orsh. It is one more shell, but now in C. Maybe it will be easier to port to Orion. It already supports ; but they are working a bit weird.
Also in orsh you can work with environment variables. From today’s morning I am trying to replace bash with it, but still a lot need to be done.
