Hello,
is there any central place, where there is a list of known
bugs/potential bugs that sould be corrected/thought about?
During my short play with plan9 I encountered several bugs/bug-like
cases. They were marginally discussed in this forum, too, amongs those
are:

Is anyone else here already?

this touches on an important point. the first introduction of regular

Hi list!
I'd like to build a server to install a virtualized grid with Plan 9,
using XEN.
(The dom0 will be a Debian)
Here: http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/OSCompatibility
Plan 9 support for domU installation is said "currently broken".
Is it right? Anyone has experience installing the last

Hi All,
I am new to plan9 and venti. All your help is greatly appreciated.
I am doing a project and my professor suggested that I use venti as a

Could any you please let me know whether it is possible to access a

The most comprehensive man pages are on swtch.com
Venti uses a simple protocol, the C library is described here :
http://swtch.com/plan9port/man/man3/venti.html
And the source here :
http://swtch.com/usr/local/plan9/src/libventi/
this is the intro

i think it was something like /dev/null :D

There is an errata page on the wiki, however
I doubt there is anyone looking at this and fixing
the bugs.
The bottom line is if you discover a bug, and it anoys you,
fix it (you have the source). If you are feeling friendly
submit a patch.

i had a similar problem. /n/sources/contrib/quanstro/9pxesoekris

iirc, it was a pretty simple change.

This guy seems to blur the distinctions here.
We´ll arrive also on 29th evening.

Great idea. Just make up a place and a time. A humble suggestion;
outside Park Hotel at 8pm. I am flying to Thessaloniki tomorrow, and
then have the full wednesday to get down to Volos.

there's a reason they're not called regularly expressions.
As explained in the post by Brian L. Stuart it's a matter of "grammar" :-P
(if this were the definition, an expression's regularlyness would
depend on the target text, would it not?)
Yes, and that _would_ be why you wouldn't craft a

He doesn't. If one reads the whole section part of which was quoted one

As other mails have pointed out, anything that isn't leftmost longest
has weird semantics. Non-greedy operators are mostly syntactic sugar.
Is (leftmost-longest + all-greedy operators) syntactic salt then?
Not in the least. The Plan 9 regexp library in fact gives you close to
the same nirvana
Works for me. Although I know some people will be coming in later than
that, 10-11pm or so. So maybe pick a restaurant/bar so everyone can
meet up there?

Sorry if I got this wrong but iirc there was a discussion re. tracing
the kernel
ftrace on Linux got it very wrong and was bricking the Intel e1000e's
http://lwn.net/SubscriberLink/304105/d32d3f1f921d9b73/
Loadable modules part of the problem
We don't have to fear about that with Plan 9, the trace device is for
the amd64 kernel, no danger of that bricking anything any time soon.

I KVM plan 9 on x86-64, only issue is drawterm doesn't work so well on
the host.
