What about NetBSD drivers? As I understand it the Rump project provides a clean way to run NetBSD drivers in different environments. I guess the bigger problem here is be getting them past the compiler? On Mon, 29 Feb 2016, 22:48 erik quanstrom, wrote: > > 10-12 years ago FreeBSD had "project Ev

Hopefully without stepping into any religious matters, why do you (9front) favor Sam so much? As I understand it Acme came after Sam, and Acme exposes Sams edit language through the Edit command, as well as providing "window" management, the ability to run a terminal inside, and exposing a file sys

I'm was merely explaining my understanding of the context so that I could be corrected if I was wrong on any point. I didn't mean to explain Acme to you. While I replied to you (I believe I did), please understand my question in the light of the thread, as it were, a whole. Thanks, everyone, for t

Thanks for the interesting comments. I've been making an effort to use Sam, in the interest of my own understanding. One of the biggest barriers I've hit is that there doesn't appear to be a good way to save complex edit commands for later. The man page suggests that it's possible to send commands

This is very cool. I just got it built/running on OpenBSD 5.9. The only problem seems to be that the code is quite old? (It's very different from that in Plan9Port's and 9front's version.) I wasn't able to get it working remotely because the additional 'rsam' command doesn't seem to be built. I ha

I'd be interested in this. I just backported _ and ^, but I don't have the time to backport anything else for the moment. It would save me (probably others) a lot of time if we could get this into the "official" Plan9Port :). On Sun, 22 May 2016 at 07:31 Iruatã Souza wrote: > This is just a port

I modified my local copy of sam to start the plumber AND the name pipe. I've been using this for almost a week and it seems to work like a charm. This is with sam from plan9port. The relevant change as a pseudo-diff: (I've been playing with a number of other changes that showed up in the diff so

Thanks for sharing this! I'd already backported a few of the features, but I hadn't yet got around to looking at the chording code etc. It's great to have selection working! I'm not sure if I did something wrong (I've checked the changes a few times) but scrolling only works "sometimes", mostly it

What would you think about moving the named pipe from samterm into sam? It doesn't make much sense if you think of the named pipe as an alternative to the plumber. If you're using it for scripting a long-running sam process then maybe it's useful? It should also allow samterm to connect (or reconne
