Day 1 of coding bullshittery and reviving a dead project

Warning! Nerdy shit ahead!

It's time to revive dead software that no one gives a shit about!


 Lately, I've looked at a dead project known as PacBSD (fromerly ArchBSD) and it was basically an abomination of the FreeBSD kernel with the Arch linux package manager, unsurprisingly such a disgrace to mankind couldn't survive for too long and It apparently died around 9-10 years ago (sad :< ) however!!! I want to revive it!! 


First of all why? simple! It's way too cool of an idea to let just die!! so I want to make it up to modern standards and maintain it myself.


Progress:

So far, I've only forked the github organisation's repository to my own org under the name AuroraBSD, I'm yet to understand what any of the stuff there even means, so I'm still in the process of understanding and idea making (since this is like 10 years old, yeah no shit it's outdated) I'll need to first make it work normally then start implementing new features n stuff


if you're interested in helping, you're more than welcome to! just ask me either by adding me or by using any other contact I'll have! then I'll add you to the organisation!
