[9fans] acme & sam text selection and delete deletes extra character
Hi there- Please pardon the dumb question if this has been covered before. I did some brief searches of the archive and couldn't find it... I'm running plan9port on macOS. I noticed that in acme, (and also sam) if I select part of a string and press delete, the selection gets deleted and also one additional character in front of the selection. For example, if I type "/path/to/file" and double-click file, file gets highlighted, and if I press delete, "/file" gets deleted leaving me with "path/to". This seems counter-intuitive as I expected only what I had highlighted to be deleted. There is a GitHub issue (#424) https://github.com/9fans/plan9port/issues/424 filed for this as well. Just curious, is this by design, or is this a bug? I'm inclined to think it's by design as it occurs within sam as well. As always, thanks!! -Ben -- 9fans: 9fans Permalink: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/T06d3bdd208f5a90b-M97206433039ca2198ba50801 Delivery options: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/subscription

[9fans] 9vx
Hi there Does anyone still use 9vx for anything? Anyone ever look at adding a cocoa/metal GUI layer for more recent Mac OS X? I'm looking at drawterm-cocoa as a starting point. This is a losing game for sure, since Apple dropped 32-bit binary support, but most of the project still compiles with XCode 9.4.1 under Mojave... Another interesting project would be seeing if it could be modified to work as a 64-bit binary but still running a 32-bit environment on the inside... Thanks much, as always! -Ben -- 9fans: 9fans Permalink: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/T13921a25ae477a65-M8261c3c4a52e717756b68e39 Delivery options: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/subscription
Re: [9fans] 9atom libxml and more xml stuff
Is 9atom still updated in any way, shape, or form, or are you working off that really old version from like 10 years ago? I really liked 9atom but it doesn’t seem to like modern hardware, and I always had a hard time getting it to run under VMware… Thanks! -- 9fans: 9fans Permalink: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/Te954fc89420dc526-M9dcb61c1503428cbafea7d0f Delivery options: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/subscription
Re: [9fans] NIX experience
Hi guys- I don't mean to take too much of a tangent, but since the nix-os repo includes a pre-built copy of 9vx for OSX, has anyone looked at updating 9vx to be able to compile on newer Mac OS versions? One of the big problems is that it's very 32-bit which Apple doesn't support compiling for anymore... Thank you! -Ben -- 9fans: 9fans Permalink: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/T7692a612f26c8ec5-Mf02665786c2af2faa59dfd2e Delivery options: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/subscription
Re: [9fans] NIX experience
So basically there's no getting 9vx to work on modern Mac OS (on Intel, I don't mean ARM)? That's truly unfortunate.

It's never going to run on any processor other than a 32-bit 386.

Re: [9fans] git/rebase for someone used to git pull --rebase
In most repos, I just do something like: git checkout master git fetch --all git pull <-- Now I'm up to date with origin, presumably my fork on github, etc git merge upstream/master <-- Now I'm up to date with the project, assuming I added it as upstream git checkout x<-- the local branch I want to rebase git rebase master <-- now it's rebased to the master Wouldn't that work for you here too? -Ben From: Jacob Moody Sent: Friday, February 7, 2025 9:51 AM To: 9fans@9fans.net <9fans@9fans.net> Subject: Re: [9fans] git/rebase for someone used to git pull --rebase On 2/7/25 10:23, ron minnich wrote: > what I'm used to > I'm on branch x > git pull --rebase origin main > > with 9front git > I'm on branch x > git/pull -f origin > git/rebase origin/heads/front > > That does not look right.

I think what you're looking for is: git/pull -f origin git/rebase remotes/origin/$upstreambranch git/branch -a will give you all the details about what remote branches we're tracking. I don't tend to use our git/rebase much, I tend to just use git/log -se branchA..branchB or the inverse to get the commit list and git/export and git/import by hand. Or stash my current branch, reset the one tracking upstream and then go from there.

[9fans] Which acme?
Hi everyone- I must have been living under a rock, but I just recently saw the acme implementation in Go in https://github.com/9fans/go! It works pretty well and even on weird platforms like AIX! There is definitely a time-honored tradition of re-implementing acme in various languages, since it's been done in alef, C, Limbo, and now Go. So I was wondering, which one is getting the most use these days, especially amongst the guys like Rob and Russ, and other daily users? The 9fans/go version, or the plan9port version? Thanks in advance! -Ben -- 9fans: 9fans Permalink: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/T91cce933fda9f1be-M003f30d2f6c0faac59dfd745 Delivery options: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/subscription
Re: [9fans] Which acme?
Is anyone using the Acme version at https://github.com/9fans/go/tree/main/cmd/acme? Or is there a preference for it over the C version in plan9port? Looking to understand which is the acme receiving the bulk of the community development effort (and largest number of users) at the present time.
