RE: VERSION file Even if you do stuff a file in to trick the build process into not searching for hg, you’re still only a partial participant as you can’t use the codereview.py scripts to synchronize your source and submit upstream changes.
I’d really appreciate a Go implementation of git/hg somewhere down the line. And for the libbio changes, I’m more opposed to the four functions Bgetle2, Bgetle4, Bputle2, and Bputle4 and the odd use of the BPUTC && BPUTLE4 macros. Those implementations are found in other portions of the code, not specific to libbio, and seem to be grafted on in a slightly off manner. That said, I’ll gladly change my mind if the p9p, Inferno, and a few other forks of the libbio source give it their blessing. To date, none have chimed in to contribute to the conversation in any way so I’m more than happy to use a patch in Go to still use Plan 9’s libbio but pull in the four new functions and the macros and go from there.
