Ah, I was working from miller's pi image. I've not been following what the differences between the various images are; I assumed that 9legacy and the pi image were close enough. What's the best way to get in sync on the pi? > I've installed the commands in a "git9" directory instead of "git", so it > doesn't conflict with the 9legacy git script ( > http://www.9legacy.org/9legacy/tools/git), which I still want to have > around for 'go get'.

I've thought about this a bit, and I think the approach I like most is a 'git/compat' script, which would leave you in a namespace where 'git' is a git-compatible-enough script that you could use for foreign software like go. Something like: #!/bin/rc bind -b /sys/lib/git/compat /bin Where /sys/lib/git/compat is a directory containing a 'git' script with all of the compatibility switches and mangling that's needed. But I don't have the 'git' script that we'd put there, and I don't know what sufficient compatibility looks like, so I'd need someone else to help out on that end. One notable omission in git9, by the way, is http clones. This is something go may want. I personally don't miss them, so I'm unlikely to get around to them soon, but I have a good idea of how to go about them, and I'd be happy to help out anyone interested in getting it done. ------------------------------------------ 9fans: 9fans Permalink: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/T8be5c9b686015974-M7bd4cfb938079cb3351a52ee Delivery options: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/subscription
