   Why do these blasted serial ports never generate interrupts

     Day 24 of building a Unix from scratch

     It's official

     So, tomorrow-ish I bundle this all up and put it in the base distribution

     Today:
     * New syscalls: ioctl, mmap supports mapping files (namely /dev/fb0)
     * Serial TTY
     * VT overhauled, early fbcons split from runtime vt
     * some termios support
     * Framebuffer device (/dev/fb0)
     * Controlling tty (via /dev/tty)

     Getting married tomorrow, no further updates for a while 🎉

     My goal was low-key to get doom working before the wedding

     Kuba Orlik repeated this.

     Additional software that I have gotten to run on Bunnix but which hasn't been packaged and/or added to the base system:

     * Doom
     * binutils
     * gcc and g++
     * qbe
     * less
     * cowsay
     * lua
     * libarchive

     Anything else I should try?

     Day 26:

     * Finished implementing poll(2)
     * Finished terminal emulation and a crappy termios implementation
     * Ported ncurses
     * Ported vim 5.7
     * Ported less
     * Ported mandoc

     Have to integrate doom into the optional software sets, write some documentation, clean up bits and pieces here and there, and fix a couple of bugs, and then I'm happy to call that Bunnix 1.0.

     Tidied up the port and the vt code, bundled it up all nice, and added ncurses and vim 5.7 to the base system

     less also builds and works with minimal changes, might add that as well

     Main issue is that when you move the cursor left across a line, the characters to the right of the cursor disappear

     Pretty puzzling one
