Not many commits this week. The only changes to the repo are to eliminate the use of some special features from libixp.However, work is going on behind the scenes to completely replace libixp with inferno libraries.
I've been playing with some styx toy programs and, except a couple of details I have to solve yet, I think I have found the way to use libstyx in devwsys without having to do too many changes. Once these changes are ready, devwsys will only depend on some inferno libraries (and xlib). We hope this decision will make the code cleaner and more consistent (libixp follows a style different to the inferno libs used in devwsys). Relying on portable libraries will also help when porting devwsys to other systems. I'm finding writing user space 9p servers with libstyx easier than I originally thought. I don't think enough people is aware of this possibility, so I'm preparing a blog post about it. It will contain some basic tips to write styx servers and a detailed explanation of how the devwsys file system works. -- - yiyus || JGL . -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Plan 9 Google Summer of Code" group.
