Re: [9fans] float.h

My program uses some of them (DBL_MIN, DBL_MAX, DBL_EPSILON), and including ape/float.h yields name clashes. Thanks. #include u.h ... #include ape/float.h it's surprisingly important not to leave out important information, such as what important things were in the ... (other include files)

If your unpleasant way is to copy float.h, it won't work; you'll need one for each $objtype. I found an algorithm to get epsilon, but not min or max. as far as i know, all plan 9 compilers use IEEE 754-compatable semantics (at least insomuch as allowed by hardware). thus the minima and

2008-08-06 Thread erik quanstrom
did anyone know if this controller is supported by the sata driver? i cant see anywhere in sdata.c and sdiahci.c. . . i guess it isnt supported at all, so there is no option to fill some silly pci-id somewhere to get it going. The new 9grid.es server has this controller, it would be a

i was able to get Rangboom snsa -- which uses code from Russ' 9pfuse -- to work with macfuse 1.7 (on os x 10.4.x). the latest 9pfuse has the patch sqweek sent for xattr; i wonder if that's the problem? it's depressing to see that Finder acts as demented as Explorer with incessant directory

[9fans] sources is back up

Sources is back up, reincarnated in a different machine that is easier to expand in several respects. The main fossil was reinitialised from the fossil dump score of early morning August 3rd; so any changes to sources since then are gone. The old sources had about 12GB of local venti arenas; the

Hi Erik, I try it this morning, but the server don't boot. I cannot say nothing about the problem, because the server is far far away and we don't have console. Probably we need change the 9load to include this SATA support. Any help? Thanks Eric, slds. i cant see anywhere in sdata.c and

[9fans] fossil permission checking

I'm having some trouble setting up a terminal (which will become a cpu/auth server). I've gotten the 9pccpuf kernel booted, and is running as the user bootes, but even from the server's console, if I type something as simple as echo hi /foo I receive the message: mounted directory forbids

2008-08-06 Thread Uriel
There is no 'super-user' in Plan 9, bootes is (for the most part) a user like any other, that just happens to be the owner of most kernel file servers. It has no special privileges, in Plan 9 there is nothing like root that lets you ignore file permissions and so on, the kernel applies the same

i believe new directories in / are frowned upon Understood, though 'bootes' or whoever has superuser-like permissions should still have unlimited abilities, right? the concept in plan 9 is called the host owner or eve. eve has special abilities on the local machine. there are 31 places
