Originally, the convenience utility for accessing a process configuration came in the form of a header file. But this causes aliasing problems if multiple compilation units access the config while the configuration gets dynamically updated. Moving the implementation of the accessor to the singleton object into a library solves those problems.
This directory contains ports of popular 3rd-party applications to Genode. The 'ports' repository follows the line of the 'libports' repository. For instructions about downloading and building 3rd-party applications, please refer to 'libports/README'. Dependencies from other repositories ------------------------------------ Application provided by the 'ports' repository typically expect a rich runtime environment, including shared libraries provided by the 'libports' repository. Hence, 'ports' depends on 'libports'. Furthermore, applications may require additional repositories. For example, the Arora web browser depends on the 'qt4' repository.
