  • Haiku updates?

    From poindexter FORTRAN@911:1415/0 to All on Sun Dec 7 22:38:13 2025
    I fired up an old Haiku VM, thought to look for updates and ran the SoftwareUpdater app. It's been sitting at "contacting software
    repositories to check for package updates" for the last couple of hours.

    Shame, I was hoping to play with this again.

    Come to think of it, no - any data on that VM is minimal. I do like the
    environment, though. I might try playing with it for a while.
