Isn't VSCode an electron app? Does do those not work on BSD?
- mrweasel 2y agoThere's still a bit of porting to be done, it's not all JavaScript (and sometimes the Javascript need a bit of love as well). You can see the patches for FreeBSD: https://cgit.freebsd.org/ports/commit/?id=25eaa50554b9630168d6578dd6c5b6a1bd0278d4 https://cgit.freebsd.org/ports/commit/?id=25eaa50554b9630168...
- kkfx 2y agoAudit Electron alone is a nightmare no one want to face, it's in term of safety a simple no-go. A monster.
- mrweasel 2y agoPorts aren't audited, but no it wouldn't make it into base, but ease of auditing is probably not the reason why that won't happen.
- andai 2y agoDid they audit Firefox?
- kkfx 2y agoSeems it's a very stripped version I suppose, but do not know, and yes it would be no less a nightmare, but a single nightmare is still easier than many.
