I wonder if the qemu arm sim would work for these. Also, how much changes in the cortex? Rumor has it that next-gen laptops will be cortex-based. ron

Hello list, I've found in http://netlib.bell-labs.com/wiki/plan9/Contrib_index/ the xml2 (libxml2-2.6.30 for APE) package from Federico G. Benavento. I was wondering if I have to use all the APE to use the library for writing a Plan 9 application. Giacomo

Anyone know if with such a library I could write an application on linux mountable from Plan 9? I've understood it could be used for syntetic fs accessible from the local machine (as for wmii), but what about accessing such filesystem from outside? Giacomo

I used libixp to import plan 9 file systems on bg/p to linux host. Don't see any reason it won't work in the other direction. I like it. It is even thread safe now. ron

[9fans] omero/olive vs rio

2008-11-25 Thread Rudolf Sykora
Hello list, can anybody compare for me the functionality of omero/olive to rio/acme? Can windows in the former be 'hidden'? How does the editor in olive compare to acme? Does the olive environment behave more coherently than rio? (I mean all --- rio, sam, acme --- have inconsistent behaviour,

Does the olive environment behave more coherently than rio? (I mean all --- rio, sam, acme --- have inconsistent behaviour, which makes me slightly uncomfortable from time to time). Are there any other 'window managers'? (more workspaces, eg.?) acme is a window manager. running acme within

hola, I was wondering if I have to use all the APE to use the library for writing a Plan 9 application. as it says it's an APE port, that means you have to use the APE api with it, I see no point in writing a native app using libxml2, if I needed to doing some xml I'd use something like

xml? Just say *no*. And BTW, steve's libxml is far from usable and doesn't really implement the complete standard (but who can blame him? the libxml2 people have been working on their implementation for years, and it is still full of bugs and security issues, not to mention insanely slow).

Again, just say *no* to xml, even the web 2.0 fools have given it up. I agree. Web 2.0 is for fools. I don't agree. Say yes to XML because you have to say yes to some markup language anyway. Why not give the yes to an eXtensible one with a zillion applications already, from TEI to DocBook to
