I think we also have one of the few non-Xcode-based toolchains on macOS, meaning you can go from a fresh macOS install to a fully working clang or gcc, using only public ASPL source from Apple and other OSS tooling. A couple of notes: although "corecrypto is not open source" is indeed true, they did release their source publicly for auditing purposes. The source release is about as OSS-unfriendly as possible though, and sits in an unversioned URL (https://developer.apple.com/security/) behind a legal agreement. The biggest thorns in my (Nix's) side on this front are: 1. launchd/XPC 2. libm 3. dsymutil is technically open source and in LLVM, but the source from apple's LLVM/clang release hasn't been ported over to upstream LLVM in ages and is causing me a lot of pain These naturally deviate somewhat from the puredarwin/opendarwin goals since Nix doesn't try to get an independently bootable system, but rather a pure/FOSS/independent enclave within an existing macOS installation.

We have also filed rdar://31842314 for libxpc and launchd not being open source, however we already in contact with Apple Developer Relations over this.
Any news about libxpc and launchd? I'm interested on both.
Nothing yet, sadly. However, the bug report that I filed was marked as a duplicate of rdar://11192369. Due to the significantly lower Radar number assigned to this duplicate, I suspect that it was filed quite a while ago, and that Apple are considering an open source release (however, this are merely my suspicions).
