9fans, Is anyone aware of where the configuration data is concerning drawterm logins? I initially set my system up as crashing.dom and since put the system into production as plan9.union.edu for my final honors project in CS. Unfortunatly fixing the /cfg plan9.ini and /lib/ndb/local to the

Phew finally got it. There was some hackery involved in the hg-git python code since mmap wasn't supported -- i basically just implemented them with reads; however I was considering writing an mmap module that used reads but realized that would be misleading since it wasn't really

ok, so there is another snag i've just found out. The new dulwich code which hg-git relies on requires mmap -- which we do not provide in ape currently. I'm new to plan9; but am not afraid to code up things that are useful. I do need to know what the best idea is for how to resolve

Cinap recommended this and I am working on it right now :) -- any other suggestions are very welcome. Thanks Russ. respectfully ++james ---BeginMessage--- You don't need mmap to implement this mmap. If it's just trying to map files into memory read-only, you could implement it by open, stat to

All, I've fixed the last bug (thank god) its hard trying to problem solve and learn a language at the same time but at least I'm still having fun (and python isn't like learning C ;). Additionally now I have this bug which is mutually exclusive from any of the mmap stuff. But at least

hi, Ok, so I have hg compiled and it will run via hg cmd; however, i'm running into a chmod error. There was a proposed change in /n/sources/patch/ape-chmod-dirbit which can be seen here: http://www.kix.in/plan9/mirror/sources/patch/. I've taken the chmod.c.new file and replaced the

John, I'm going to write an rc script to do the installation. The package works to pull in hg; however, it depends on a lot of things. I'll write a readme and post it. Is the wiki an ok place for this? respectfully, james ---BeginMessage--- Congratulations! I'm interested in giving it

Thats good to hear HG is working well, I am really hoping for git as it is hosting my current repo of works. If git does not exist and there is no plan to do it in the future I can migrate over my stuff (i'd prefer to do actual new work than porting VCS!). Thanks for the replies thus far.
