It may be worth making it clear *on* 9p.io, then, that the site is a historical monument, and not a place to go for a living system. A link to 9legacy on the front page, flagging it as the place to go if someone wants to use "Plan 9 from Bell Labs", would probably be in order. Personally, I'd prefer to treat the site, and the system itself, as a living thing, and not as a historical preservation project. Treating the main page as "The world stopped when bell labs died" doesn't indicate a healthy ecosystem to me. But that's not my call to make, and since I'm not the one doing the work, I'm not going to argue about that too much. > > Is there anywhere that people would be comfortable > > blessing as a source for building new ISO images, > > to put behind the download link, with the accepted > > patches integrated? > > That's mostly what 9legacy is. It's a collection of patches, but it's unclear from the site that it's the successor to 9p.io. It would be good to clarify that this is where the labs distribution of Plan 9 lives. You can see that confusion in greemngreek's questions. ------------------------------------------ 9fans: 9fans Permalink: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/Tf6a8184d9a08179e-M675bc1ac91611c8c5dac1034 Delivery options: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/subscription
