Hi Steve, did you find anything (even incomplete) back then?

[9fans] u9fs sources

2015-09-01 Thread Giacomo Tesio 
Hi, anybody knows where the u9fs sources are currently maintained?

I have just found https://bitbucket.org/plan9-from-bell-labs/u9fs but it's
only linked by an old googlecode repo: I was unable to find any official
link in the bell labs pages.

I don't think it is currently maintained, but Plan 9 ships with a copy
of it under /sys/src/cmd/unix. I used that as the basis of the OpenBSD
port.

it used to work (at least the tests that comes with pth, and the oracle/
sleepycat db ...)
I was once curious to try to re-compile python using pth but never did.

I have it on my list of urgent tasks to fix u9fs.  The more recent
copy (details need investigating) fails on NetBSD when encountering
group IDs that don't have a matching value in /etc/group as well as
under more mysterious circumstances.  The older copy works adequately
(very similar platform, not identical), but it seems to care much less
about group IDs and it seems a waste that somebody would have done a
lot of work in vain.

I can find out more about each, but if someone else is willing to
help, I'd also like to apply similar expertise to add ownership and
permission settings to NetBSD's variation of v9fs which I presume is
an analogous problem?

So, feel free to nudge me, if you can add to my rather limited skills,
the hardware can be made available for development and testing.

Lucio.
