Aya: writing BPF in Rust The first release of the Aya BPF library has been announced; this project allows the writing of BPF programs in the Rust language. " Over the
last year I've talked with many folks interested in using eBPF in the Rust
community. My goal is to get as many of you involved in the project as
possible! Now that the rustc target has been merged, it's time to build a
solid foundation so that we can enable developers to write great eBPF
enabled apps". | | 2:02p |
A possible copyright-policy change for glibc The GNU C Library developers are asking
for comments on a proposal to stop requiring developers to assign their copyrights to the Free Software Foundation. This mirrors the recent change by GCC, except that the community is being consulted first. " The changes to accept patches
with or without FSF copyright assignment
would be effective on August 2nd, and would apply to all open branches.
The glibc stewards, like the GCC SC, continue to affirm the principles of
Free Software, and that will never change." | | 2:50p |
