Yeah but we don’t necessarily need patches from 9front. The ones of good quality are really already being pulled in. Cinap does a lot of solid work.  My only issue is seeing the two maintain a strong delineation, which I obviously prefer.

I do agree that having a more "original" Plan 9 option like 9legacy is a good idea. in terms of what that actually means doing, a lot of the obvious effort would be to go into turning stuff from 9front into patches for 9legacy. I started to do this to make a patch for dp9ik for 9legacy and I quickly realized how much effort that actually would take On Thu, Jan 25, 2024, 11:35 AM Don Bailey <don.bai...@gmail.com> wrote: Sometimes gatekeeping is good. It's OK if folks don't agree.  I think it's healthy to create a strict regimen around "mainline". I am not against 9front doing whatever it wants, I just would prefer if the two did not merge. It's important to keep the 9 ecosystem stable, imo.  D On Thu, Jan 25, 2024 at 1:02 PM thedaemon via 9fans <9fans@9fans.net> wrote: Don, you have been gate keeping this whole thread. I see noone agreeing with you either.  We could all be a little kinder to one another, especially since we all have love for Plan 9.  — thedæmon 🫠 On Thu, Jan 25, 2024 at 11:31 AM, Don Bailey <don.bai...@gmail.com> wrote: Cool gaslighting.  On Thu, Jan 25, 2024 at 12:25 PM Bakul Shah <ba...@iitbombay.org> wrote: On Jan 25, 2024, at 8:44 AM, Don Bailey <don.bai...@gmail.com> wrote: > > I'm not sure what all this was, so I didn't read most of it. > > If 9front becomes the "mainline" 9, I will stop using 9 altogether.

May be you are rejecting it for the wrong reasons? ------------------------------------------ 9fans: 9fans Permalink: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/T42f11e0265bcfa18-Mb71d859edbb24de170bf2c71 Delivery options: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/subscription 9fans / 9fans / see discussions + participants + delivery options Permalink
