[9fans] Many bugs in eqn(1)

2014-08-12 Thread Carsten Kunze
Hello, I'm somewhat disappointed about the troff software in Plan9. I did few initial tests with eqn(1) and in addition to the TAB problem I saw that the root sign line and large brackets are not aligned. The attached file shows these problems. It can be processed to PostScript with eqn eqn.tr

[9fans] chem preprocessor

2014-08-12 Thread Jacob Todd
BWK wrote a preprocessor for troff for drawing chemical structures long ago. I've ported it to plan 9 with just a small changes. If you would like to try it out just `9fs busybeingbrutal.org`, it's chem.tbz. I have only tested the examples.

It is a shame if there are bugs in eqn - tbl has one or two also but the source is there and it is all fixable. You could submit a patch. You mention the DWB eqn (neqn I assume) - the plan9 eqn is (i believe) a direct descendent of that and the solaris one a cousin so by comparing code the bug may

There are several plan9 repositories as there are several distribuitions, however I am pretty sure all these keep in sync with the labs (bell labs) code so I would suggest you start with that (unless somone else on this list shouts). from plan9 its just a case of: 9fs sources ls /

[9fans] Raspberry Pi installer surrogate

2014-08-12 Thread dante
Dear 9ers, Here is my first contribution. AFAIK, there is no installer yet for the Rasbperry Pi port. Moreover, the Raspberry Pi can only boot from the one SD card (not from USB). This makes the classical installer design (boot from a removable device, install on the fixed disk) impractical.

You got a huge 2GB disk. Moreover, you probably needed an additional PC. Cheers! On 12.08.2014 23:49, Jacob Todd wrote: I used dd and the 9front img. On Aug 12, 2014 5:43 PM, "dante" wrote: Dear 9ers, Here is my first contribution. AFAIK, there is no installer yet for the Rasbperry Pi port

That's mainly interpersonal politics. Poettering probably pounded him too hard one time. He isn't giving a technical refutation of systemd and that's actually very well possible. Why shouldn't someone turn the ranter to LFS instead? Someone with 20 years of so-called loyalty and evangelism o
