Lyndon Nerenberg lyn...@orthanc.ca once said: I stopped at gmake. What can't mk do that demands gmake? There's nothing wrong with mk. It's just that I highly doubt we could get a separate set of mkfiles included in the Go distribution. I've tried to get things going with the smallest set of

Re: [9fans] 9vx instability

cinap_len...@gmx.de once said: /lib/mainkampf is part of an ongoing project to make venti sha-1 hashes easy to remember by translating them into hitler-speeches. Well now that it's gone, how about using excerpts from Industrial Society and its Future? I can send a patch to add /lib/kaczynski.

[9fans] Two bugs in ar

I was investigating a bug in the Go toolchain's fork of ar(1), called gopack, and I discovered two similar bugs in native ar. 1. With a __.SYMDEF file of size (2*n)+1 bytes, the size given in the header will incorrectly include the padding byte. 2. When writing an archive member file to
