Re: [9fans] Ports tree for Plan 9

What I've wanted is less a ports tree and more a server that takes images of some sort (tarballs?) in $home/lib/pkg and binds the namespace in the right place. So, eg, I have "foo.tgz", which may contain, for example: fortune.tgz:lib/fortunes.txt fortune.tgz:bin/fortune Which would get mo

Thanks Jens! I can add you to the bitbucket if you wish so you can contribute at your leisure. Also, if anyone else wants commit access, just ask. :) (I think bitbucket has some dumb limited commit bit thing though. Hopefully I'll get off it soon.) -- Veety

Re: [9fans] Will the future Internet resemble Plan 9 namespaces?

Possibly. I think though that the old adage of "Those who don't know unix will imitate it, poorly" will apply here. Really I think that's the internet in a nutshell. Http is like 9p except more complex and less flexible, as is ftp. Email is a mess and in a similar state. I think whatever imitation

[9fans] Ports tree for Plan 9

Hey 9fans, I wrote a ports tree for 9front, but it should work fine on labs Plan 9. It's a bit light on software and probably has bugs, so I would really love comments on it and mkfiles for new software. Take a look at the code, try it out, tell me what you think! Ports repo: https://bitbu

Re: [9fans] C.H.I.P. - world's first $9 computer

Agreed. When I first heard about it, my first thought was "oo cheap Plan9 machine!" Currently I'm mostly p9p, with access to a Plan9 server I connect to via devdraw I hardly connect to and an Plan9 Qemu image I've booted once. Maybe with something like CHIP, I'd give it more time. > On May 11,

Until that comes out, I'll be slightly skeptical. But Plan 9 on that would be pretty cool! On May 11, 2015 6:32:39 PM CDT, Bakul Shah wrote: >https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1598272670/chip-the-worlds-first-9-computer/ > >40mmx60mm >1GHz Allwinner R8 processor + 512MB memory + 4GB storage +

Yes. Yes, it will. #Hints > On May 11, 2015, at 5:13 PM, Skip Tavakkolian > wrote: > > It is interesting that one of the possible futures of the Internet -- PARC's > NDN (Named Data Networking) -- resembles Plan 9's namespaces where the user > is most interested in the name of the resource

[9fans] Will the future Internet resemble Plan 9 namespaces?

It is interesting that one of the possible futures of the Internet -- PARC's NDN (Named Data Networking) -- resembles Plan 9's namespaces where the user is most interested in the name of the resource rather than where it resides (e.g. users/programs care about /mnt/factotum or /n/sources rather th
