I started my personal fork of NNN called ZZZ, i.e. i pushed the blocks 90 degress ;-)

https://codeberg.org/jarkko/zzz

I’m not a fan of forks but the upstream seems to be quite broken in terms of pragmatic decision making so it would take me probably literally years to get anything changed over there.

I pushed my sorting code for inverse selection over there too: https://codeberg.org/jarkko/zzz/commit/f6904ae23f4a785ceb6412b19575d690d1dcc191

Release plan:

  1. s/NNN_/ZZZ_/ (i.e. allow both to be installed)
  2. Replace the remaining “qsort” shenanigans and compilation options with heap sort (for inverse selection O(n) radix sort is the best possible option).
  3. Get rid of this junkyard of patches by going through them and either applying or deleting: https://codeberg.org/jarkko/zzz/src/branch/main/patches
  4. Get rid off as many compilation options as possible. Each should be evaluated and for the most part pick a single viable option.
  5. Create build.zig replacing Makefile but other than that zero Zig code.

I don’t even feel like that I’m actually making a fork here because the current upstream has forks as a features given patches/ ;-)
