Re: [9fans] pkg(1) and tbz2
I don't think it can work with pkg. Note that it isn't a repo and has only 72 KB/s max uploading rate. So it means that will be very slow and none of that packages was set to work with pkg tool. In most cases they are only sources. And I think gcc bootstrap will be more complicated that a simple pkg/create.

Re: [9fans] pkg(1) and tbz2
First, you need a gcc to compile gcc. There is a complete set here https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B6YNt0aHfaA0am1oNGNSR3pXU1Uusp=sharing#list (get more recent), and a clue about configures here http://marcus.biz.tm/files/configure.txt. But I'm sure that 9fans list don't want any noise about this. So ask there where you found that soft.

Re: [9fans] r-pi usbotg error
oh, and remember that a *powered* hub is pretty much essential. Just for the record, I use a classic IBM clicky Model M with a ps2/usb adapter, and a very cheap generic chinese usb keyboard, both problem free without any external hub. Patch /n/sources/patch/maybe/usb-short-desc makes a lot more keyboards work (especially some with hubs). While working on the pi2, I have discovered one glitch which also seems to be the case on the B+ but not the B or A: after rebooting with the reboot command (as opposed to resetting the power or using ^t^tr) the keyboard won't respond without being unplugged and replugged. Perhaps the built-in 4-port hub on these pi models needs some sort of reset which the 2-port hub doesn't.
[9fans] Google Summer of Code 2015
(Resending (with tweaks) to get around moderation.) Things are underway for this summer. The org application period is open, closing tomorrow, and ours is in, with a few tweaks pending. A few things to note, the first one could use lots of help: • As always, the most important part of the application is the ideas page. This year's is at: http://www.plan9.bell-labs.com/wiki/plan9/gsoc-2015-ideas/index.html I've just started updating it, and there's plenty to do. If you have an idea you'd be possibly willing to mentor or backup-mentor, *please* add it here. Provide enough detail that an interested student could get a decent idea of the scope of the project and what's involved. The more relevant information you can provide, the better. If the info for that project gets larger than a paragraph, it probably makes sense to create a wiki page dedicated to the idea; see the idea Replace language for wikifs for a good example of that. If the wiki is a challenge, email me what the entry should be and I'll take care of it. In the GSoC feedback sessions every year, this page is always the main thing used to separate various otherwise-promising orgs out. Take a look. • If you travel in circles with students, start telling them about the program and why they should want to work with us. You might point them at our Student Expectations, at http://www.plan9.bell-labs.com/wiki/plan9/GSoC_Student_Expectations/index.html I'm reviewing those, but I don't expect significant changes. • If you're an established community member, consider whether you'd be interested in mentoring. Take a look at our Mentor's Expectations at http://www.plan9.bell-labs.com/wiki/plan9/GSoC_Mentor_Expectations/index.html and feel free to ask me or anyone else who's participated in the past questions - I'm sure everyone would be willing to talk. • Prior-year mentors, it would be particularly helpful if you could take a look at those two previous pages and let me know (via the plan9-gsoc group preferably, or off-list) if you think anything needs changing. I think these expectations (which are more or less the same as the past 2-3 years, with small refinements) have served us pretty well, but would obviously be interested in other opinions. • Also, if you're not on them and would like to contribute actively, we have two relevant Google Groups worth joining: plan9-gsoc and plan9-gsoc-mentors. The mentor's list is for mentors, backup mentors, and similar folks helping out; the other list is for anyone interested in helping out or following along on the GSoC-specific discussions more closely. Let me know if you have any other questions. If you have real-time questions, I'm in #plan9 and #plan9-gsoc most of the time.

Patch /n/sources/patch/maybe/usb-short-desc makes a lot more keyboards work (especially some with hubs). Unfortunately I didn't see any change with usb-short-desc applied, though switching to the Lenovo did the trick. I'm very happy with how the new terminal is shaping up so far. Thanks! Steve
