That seems to be a misunderstanding or something like that. As far as I know the p9f is only distributing the original plan 9 software (ISO and source), which means 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th edition, all of which are outdated and receive no development at all. "Forks" like 9front and 9legacy have the same code base, but receive active development. Those are however not p9f products. The fork that's closest to the last official release (4th) is 9legacy. They could state that more clearly on their website, for newcomers. We also had a very long thread like three years ago about what p9f actually wants. Hope that clarifies things a bit. sirjofri ------------------------------------------ 9fans: 9fans Permalink: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/T9804faa2e50a80d8-M58de42775c8bdf35c7922fa6 Delivery options: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/subscription
