Hyperbola GNU/Linux-libre project is preparing HyperbolaBSD. According to: https://wiki.hyperbola.info/doku.php?id=3Den:main:nomenclatures -- It is planned to be based on the OpenBSD operating system with implementations from different BSD systems and modularized like the GNU operating system by using the hyperman utility for package management and HyperRC as its default init system. Its kernel is called as =E2=80=9CHyperBK=E2=80=9D and library C as =E2=80=9CHyperBLibC=E2= =80=9D. hyperman is the name chosen for the version of pacman while HyperRC is the name chosen for the version of OpenRC. Both are planned to be a framework (not a fork) to host local modifications and try to push back Hyperbola changes whenever they are good for upstreams too. The Hyper Berkeley Kernel (HyperBK) is a kernel which is being developed and maintained by Hyperbola. It is a kernel planned to be based on OpenBSD kernel, however with implementations from different BSD kernels and deblobbed by Hyperbola. The Hyper Berkeley C Library (HyperBLibC) is a C library which is being developed and maintained by Hyperbola. It is a C library planned to be based on OpenBSD C library, however with implementations from different BSD C libraries. While this may not be GNU system, Hyperbola team is planning to make fully free OpenBSD based system after liberating that kernel from blobs. That is all good news! Jean
