"With many recent stability fixes and other improvements by Michael Lotz (mmlr) as well as others - he was able to finally nail down a couple last minor tweaks that allowed him to checkout the Haiku source from the SVN repository, compile a raw Haiku image, and test it in QEMU entirely from his Haiku install. This is the first time ever that Haiku has reportedly 'self-hosted', an unofficial important requirement for an alpha release. Please note that there are a few technicalities to be ironed out before the process can be easily reproduced by all. Update: Please note that Haiku won't be taking over the world just yet."

DaaT also posted an article about this on IsComputerOn . Below is a snippet. "Step by step, inch by inch, Haiku is getting closer being fully self hosted. Last night (and into this morning), Michael Lotz managed to check out the Haiku tree, then compile the Haiku image and finally boot it under QEMU, all of this from Haiku itself. There are still problems of course, like memory leaks, etc, but this marks an important step in the Haiku trip (not that kind of trip)."
