Genode Porting Wishlist

This page contains my personal Genode porting wishlist. As it happens there is a great deal of nice software out there that I would appreciate to have on Genode and where writing a native component would be impractical. From time to time I am going to work off some item on the list or add a new one. Each item includes a coarse list of dependencies.

That being said I am grateful to anyone who wants to join in. If you are interested in working on porting something from this list, please drop me a note at josef.soentgen@genode-labs.com and I would be happy to land a hand. Porting some software is after all a great way to learn about Genode (although writing a native Genode component will you get you more in touch with its inner workings, porting is easily the best “gateway drug”).
