    Ports updates in january 2023

    It’s been a really slow month for me on the Free Software front. Roughly since the KDE e.V. board meeting in Berlin I’ve been swamped with work-work (just lots of C++ code to grind through) and personal (family health matters) issues. The effect is that when I sit down at my FreeBSD workstation, I have at most 15 minutes a day to deal with whatever Free Software things affect me. That’s KDE, Calamares, and FreeBSD, so they all get short shrift. I finally did sit down this week and get a little more done, so here’s a brief report.

    Strong Booleans

    Consider a legacy codebase in C++ that uses int instead of bool. It’s so legacy that it is probably C89, really, before the advent of the bool type in any form. So typical code that has a “boolean” variable as a class member variable looks like this:
