Here's a diff between the 10.9 package list [0] and this one: https://gist.github.com/anonymous/014e71ac38a4776811f7 https://gist.github.com/anonymous/014e71ac38a4776811f7 Few changes, but some interesting things pop out, like the addition of libmalloc and libpthread and the removal of memcached and securityd.

The removal of launchd is a bit of a bummer.
- jzelinskie 12y ago
  especially since someone had been working on porting it to FreeBSD for their Summer of Code project.

    It's already running. https://github.com/outbackdingo/launchd_xml https://github.com/outbackdingo/launchd_xml https://github.com/rtyler/openlaunchd https://github.com/rtyler/openlaunchd Works on 10.1

  Not running 10.10 at the moment; did they switch to something else, or just not release the source?
  - reubenmorais 12y ago
    It's still used, they haven't released the source.
  - bigdubs 12y ago
    launchd is still the launch agent for 10.10, they probably just removed the source for this version.

      Ah, the freedoms of permissive licenses... better than proprietary at least.
      - cowsandmilk 12y ago
        they wrote launchd. Even if they released it under GPL, as the copyright owners, they would have the freedom to make future releases closed source.

    10.10 ships launchd 2.0 which is a complete rewrite: https://twitter.com/launchderp/status/528053818156527616 https://twitter.com/launchderp/status/528053818156527616 Apparently the launchd code got rolled into xpc, which is closed source.

  I guess this puts the quiet removal of launchd from macosforge.org into perspective. http://web.archive.org/web/20120609100559/http://launchd.macosforge.org/ http://web.archive.org/web/20120609100559/http://launchd.mac... Unfortunate timing since it was finally getting a working port on FreeBSD.

Diff isn't the world's best way to look at this. e.g. the source for securityd was still released, it's just under a different directory now (Security-57031.1.35/securityd/).

Nice, I'm glad they finally released libmalloc source after they separated it from Libsystem (or was it in Libc? Eh, one of those). It was not in the 10.9 releases when the split happened. I think most of libSystem.dylib (and its sub-dylibs) are once again open source. =)

  Not really, I still can't seem to find the SSE assembly versions of many functions that have been missing since OSX 10.9: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/25505371/where-did-osxs-x86-64-assembly-libc-routines-go http://stackoverflow.com/questions/25505371/where-did-osxs-x...
