OpenDarwin 即将关闭
期望开发另一个 Darwin OS derivative 的努力就这么停止了。4年来，OpenDarwin 没能达到自己的目标，现在的 OpenDarwin 只是host OS X 相关项目的地方。
OpenDarwin was originally created with the goal of providing a development environment for building and developing Mac OS X sources as well as developing a standalone Darwin OS derivative. OpenDarwin was meant to be a development community and a proving ground for fixes and features for Mac OS X and Darwin, which could be picked up by Apple for inclusion in the canonical sources. OpenDarwin has failed to achieve its goals in 4 years of operation, and moves further from achieving these goals as time goes on. For this reason, OpenDarwin will be shutting down.
Over the past few years, OpenDarwin has become a mere hosting facility for Mac OS X related projects. The original notions of developing the Mac OS X and Darwin sources has not panned out. Availability of sources, interaction with Apple representatives, difficulty building and tracking sources, and a lack of interest from the community have all contributed to this. Administering a system to host other people’s projects is not what the remaining OpenDarwin contributors had signed up for and have been doing this thankless task far longer than they expected. It is time for OpenDarwin to go dark.
Project admins for all active projects have been notified, and we will be working with them to provide as seamless a transition to their new homes as possible. We don’t want to boot anyone off, we will be operating the machines as usual for several months, until everyone has had a chance to move elsewhere.
We will continue to provide email and dns redirection after the machines go dark. We’ll be looking at what other redirection services are needed and can be provided after hosting has ceased.
The OpenDarwin team would like to thank everyone who did contribute to the project, and our apologies to active, loyal projects that have to move.
Thanks,
- OpenDarwin Core Team and Administrators

哈哈，上周日写了 Darwine ，果然在 2006 SourceForge.net Community Choice Awards 里成了 Desktop - Winner。

Darwine 的好消息是，SourceForge 2006 Community Choice Awards ， Desktop 类入围。
虽然最终结果在4月5号 Boston 的 LinuxWorld Expo 才公布，不过入围已经是不错的成绩。
名字来自 WINE for Darwin and Mac OS X。目标是移植/开发Wine和相关支持工具到Darwin和Mac OS X，在这些系统上也能运行Windows程序－－什么，你说简直是无聊加亵渎？不要让意识形态作怪嘛……
项目主要有两个阶段，第一是移植Wine到Darwin/PowerPC with X11 (XFree86)－－因为很早就开始，那时自然还是PPC的时代。 Darwin很大程度上是FreeBSD，基本的兼容性摆在那儿，稍微麻烦的是Mach内核，Infinite Loop 里的家伙们八成是为了显示个性，文件格式用Mach-O而不是ELF。这个阶段已经完成，WineLib可以在Mac OS X上运行，能够用WineLib重编译Win32程序，并使其在OS X上运行。
第二阶段是，把QEMU 的binary translator整合进WINE。其他一些支持功能，比如从桌面启动 Windows 应用，集成的installer正在计划中。
在说明白些，这里要完成的，不是通过模拟器在Mac上安装Windows，而是，不需要安装Windows，就能运行Windows程序，这要方便多啦。而且，这才和WINE在Linux上完成的事情一样嘛。
恐怕 Developers 和 Hackers 会是Darwine最大的目标用户群－－至少现在是。显然，Darwin/Mac OS X的Wine发布版还不能非常方便地直接运行Windows的.exe。对老PowerPC版本，刚才说了，正在把x86仿真器集成进wine，这样才至少有理论可能性，对 Darwin-x86和最近弃暗投明的Intel Mac 来说，情况要好得多，Win32 exe 应该很快可以运行起来。
