Re: [9fans] Fossil disk usage over 100%?
Long-haul airlines can appear to have better safety statistics than local services, because they spend proportionately more flying hours in a straight-and-level steady state than in takeoff and landing where most accidents occur. Similarly someone who has used fossil as a production system over the years to support their real work will have a different subjective view of its reliability than someone with only the frustrating experience of repeated experimental installs, maybe on pushing-the-boundaries hardware or VMs that nobody else has tried, maybe not getting the initial config quite right (it's tricky) or trying to load it up with more files than it can hold before taking the first venti snapshot. That's my last word on the subject, except to say: any time someone reports a data-corrupting fossil bug to the list, with enough factual detail that it can be replicated, I'll do my best to fix it. I enjoy a bit of a challenge :)

If someone is interested, I just uploaded the following: http://plan9.bell-labs.com/sources/contrib/staal1978/pkg/xz-5.0.4.tbz unfortunately i386 only, since it was built with gcc (for more architectures, either the native pcc or ape/cc need to get fixed or gcc need not be updated/adapted to build for other targets). I have not done much testing yet, so I do not know how well it works (it is fresh off the presses, only tested with --help and --version on the different utilities).

What I meant was that I (naturally) tried building with native APE first but did not manage it. Unfortunately I did not document the problems properly (nowadays -+ is active by default in cpp I think but there were more stuff - possibly the "could not initialize bitfields" thing I have hit some other times) and it is some time ago. Now I just tried with gcc and it worked so I got a bit excited and decided to upload as soon as possible (release early and all that). BTW: I have been trying to adopt the modifications made to the original port of GCC/binutils to more recent ones to have a i386-plan9 target cross compiler on another host machine (linux, macosx, ...). I do unfortunately not have much time playing with it though. For APE: I probably should update the gcc-apelibs soon, but there seems to be a state of flux currently with the new rune bits and other modifications for recent python and go. When would be a good time to make a snapshot?

Sorry there seems to be some issues still. Running unxz or xz -d on a .tar.xz archive gives an error about the archive being corrupt. no idea where to find the error. If anyone is interested to help finding what might be wrong, that would be cool.
[9fans] fsnap
Hello, for those who want short time snapshot on cwfs, I wrote `fsnap'. you also need `lr'. please try. you can download both fsnap and lr from http://plan9.aichi-u.ac.jp/netlib/cmd/ Kenji Arisawa
