i think what annoys people is things (experiments, code, entire
operating systems) that are intended to be kept private neverthess
stil get mentioned. the happiest scenario is the one we just
witnessed: after an exchange of several more messages on the list, the
bits got published.
thanks, david.
no i agree lucio, i failed in believing what you described would be
obvious to everybody involved.
the script itself is rather simple. but the outcome is more important:
thanks to david for making sure everybody can find the plan9 history
on google/github without having to get too deeply involved.
There's the other side of the coin, too, just so everyone can tell I'm
cursed with seeing more than one side of situations like this: no one
can learn much from "private exchanges". So David's freedom not to
publish a one-off ought to be weighed against the benefit that someone
may be able to buil

I generally agree, but in this case he was forced to spend more work
(cleaning up, and documenting it).

I don't thin
Well, here is it: http://www.9legacy.org/9legacy/tools/9hist-to-git.sh

hi,
one “send it privately” event does not an ethos make.
i am speaking for Davide here, but i do not think he feels the it was worth
publishing widely, being a throw away script.
i am going to spend some time and try and beautify it, if i succeed i will

I guess it's a choice we need to be free to make. Sometimes the effort
involved in making something sufficiently polished for publication is
too much, when one is too self-conscious to dump a dog's breakfast for
the Internet to vomit over forever (no reflection over David's
coding).
