I read the entire thread but I didn’t see this point specifically addressed. From the latest posts it is still unclear where you plan to do the compiling. Okay, so let’s stipulate compiling on Plan 9. Unless I missed it, the relationship between your automated tools on the Linux host and the build on the Plan 9 guest (for example, how they will communicate) hasn’t been mentioned at all. That’s why I brought up the 9front fork of drawterm as a possible facilitator. It can handle 9front’s new auth scheme and it can run individual commands. Lacking something like this, how else do you plan to control the build on Plan 9? It also wasn’t clear to me that you’ve spent any significant time actually using Plan 9. It might even be a good idea to use the system for a while, even without all the external automation, to figure out if any of this is even worth your time. A lot of people find they don’t like Plan 9 once they get here. Anyway, good luck with whatever your ultimate goal is. sl
