That file has no relevance, and should be deleted as part of regen. PRs welcome. So the answer to your question: if you can, please submit a PR to delete that file. I'd like to see NIX incorporated into 9front, either as a branch, build option, or first-class citizen. NIX's status as an independent repo is a temporary situation while we get it back to life. > 2) Can the LICENSE be updated according to the re-licensing > finally achieved?---what about the diffs against legacy Plan9? What > license (I imagine NOTICE?)? NIX is a set of very small changes, easily applied to any plan 9 kernel, and, hence, the changes would have the license of the project they are incorporated into. A PR to fix the license is also welcome. > > 3) I happen to have only AMD64 dual-cores, ARMv7 dual-cores or one > RISC-V 1+4 cores.

I see no reason it would not work for 2 cores. But Paul's got it building, so a good first step: go and and build it too. > > b) For the future, what would be the main immediate target? > ARM family (Ampere like processors)? I think the target is determined by who writes code. For now, however, I think the effort is to bring it forward 13 years in time :-) Thanks to Paul, we're at the stage where the conversation can be about code, and I am hoping to see people contribute. No contribution is too small, because there's a bit of work to learning how to contribute. remove the PROCESS file? fix the LICENSE? Please do! No contribution is too small. But I think "meta discussions about" can now naturally evolve to "here's some code/experience/measurement" Thanks ------------------------------------------ 9fans: 9fans Permalink: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/Ted30b22de106b2db-Mbba02cc8cbb9b0fb15139b29 Delivery options: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/subscription
