[9fans] Inferno OS
Hi All, I have a quick question. Is there any place where I can download Inferno OS and use it without having to build it myself? I am looking for something to run on Ubuntu (x86) or MacOS (x86/ARM).

AFAIR from when I looked into it, this behavior was introduced in commit ba7c22f781dafd30d0b97179c941476639022285 Author: mveety Date: Wed Aug 28 23:01:23 2013 -0400 Added the p9p acme patch the allows multiline tags (thanks rsc and lf94). I think the redraw happens because when you add a character to the tag you may need to wrap to a new line. As a stopgap for myself, I've just removed the call to winresize from winsettag1. In principle one should be able to figure out the width of the text in the tag and how many lines are needed, and redraw only if that number changes after a character is typed, but I wasn't able to figure out where to do this in the code. -- 9fans: 9fans Permalink: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/Tc1d9d9ca3a94e285-Ma59d9fb2950eba76653a7a5c Delivery options: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/subscription

Test(1) was changed for 9front because the old test(1) was broken. It does not have any sort of "implied" -a or -o operands. Actually, it silently ignores what comes after the first expression if there is no -o or -a to combine it with other expressions. The specific example from fgb's contrib/install script is doubly wrong since there's no argument supplied to the -w option. I guess because old test(1) doesn't complain, people may have assumed that this syntax was a cute way to check that a directory exists *and* that it is writable. Ratrace(1), however, will show you that the old test(1) only does one stat(5) syscall in this case and, in fact, calls exits(0) regardless of whether the directory is writable or not. The new test(1) in 9front passes the following test suite, which is mostly stolen from something the OpenBSD folks had used to test their own test(1) program: http://git.9front.org/plan9front/regress/717df14acac498bfb4496066a60c1ae83e93d9b7/cmd/test.rc/f.html > I would suggest compiling the plan9 version locally and seeing if > that fixes the issue. That will probably get you by, but I'd say the contrib/install script should be fixed also. -- Cheers, Alex Musolino -- 9fans: 9fans Permalink: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/T23b7964cf6e8776e-Mdbb0237c5d0d5fa0441d5e2e Delivery options: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/subscription
