Re: [9fans] Re: Plan 9 bitsy port and Inferno ipaq1110
I've ran Plan 9 on iPAQ for the last time in 2008 or so and it worked fine, including the ORiNOCO WaveLAN PCMCIA card. The bitsy kernel has been removed from Plan 9 on 2013-01-30. A copy of the bitsy kernel is available in the extra directory: https://9p.io/sources/extra/bitsy.tgz Some of my notes are available here: http://9grid.fr/plan9/ipaq_h3650/ I think it should still work with the current ARM toolchain.

Re: [9fans] Software philosophy
Here are some clarifications. 9legacy used to be a an experimental patch queue for Plan 9 from Bell Labs, providing patches that were not yet accepted into the mainline distribution. That's why we didn't recommend to use 9legacy, unless you had specific needs. However, this isn't really the case since 2015, because Plan 9 from Bell Labs is not maintained anymore (last release was 2015-01-10). Today, 9legacy is more of a continuation of Plan 9 from Bell Labs. There are still experimental patches, but also a lot of fixes and improvements that would probably be part of Plan 9 from Bell Labs if it was still maintained. Also, NIX is not maintained anymore. However, there are some other variants of 9k (the 64-bit Plan 9 kernel), including the one available as part of 9legacy, that are still in progress. -- David du Colombier -- 9fans: 9fans Permalink: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/T9ef6430f3025e731-Mc9a3f2e566a1033cb9d790de Delivery options: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/subscription

There is no need to run a 32-bit Linux specifically, since most 64-bit Linux distributions have support for both 32-bit and 64-bit user space. For example, on a 64-bit Fedora you can install the 32-bit dependencies for 9vx this way: dnf install glibc-devel.i686 libgcc.i686 libX11-devel.i686 libXext-devel.i686 -y > a) When I typed fshalt I got an error that I don't have permissions to > call /bin/echo.

Usually during the > installation of a distro lets say 9front I would have to partition a > harddisk where the necessary things are installed. In the usual case, you don't have to run a file system in 9vx. You simply extract the files from the Plan 9 CD in a directory located on your host operating system, then 9vx can use this directory as his root. For example: wget http://9legacy.org/download/9legacy.iso.bz2 bunzip2 plan9.iso.bz2 9660srv -f plan9.iso 9mount unix\!$(namespace)/9660 /n/9660 sudo cp -a /n/9660 /opt/plan9 9vx -r /opt/plan9 > c) I'm a bit confused about the licensing of 9vx and vx32. vx32 is LGPL > and 9vx is/was licenced with the Lucent license while 9vx uses vx32 or > am I wrong ? 9vx was recently re-licensed under MIT license, but vx32 remains under LGPL. -- David du Colombier -- 9fans: 9fans Permalink: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/Tf651d537d5dbd117-Meca687190264535224ded984 Delivery options: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/subscription

There are a lot of cmd/go tests, especially in the recent releases, and they are quite slow to run on Plan 9.

The TLS implementation on Plan 9 doesn't verify X.509 certificate chain, so the certificate bundle isn't useful. It's only used by Go programs.

Re: [9fans] double lock in proc.c
This was many years ago (when my now-white beard was still merely grey). Not worth going back to reconstruct the arguments, but I'll send Giacomo and Nemo a copy of my proc.c to examine for themselves. I'd also be interested by your copy if proc.c. Thanks. -- David du Colombier
Re: [9fans] Multicore support ARM RaspberryPi

If you want to mount as a specific user, you can specify the "uname" option of v9fs. See the documentation: https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/filesystems/9p.txt Example: $ mount -t 9p -o tcp,trans=tcp,uname=djc 135.104.24.18 /n/sources If you require authentication, you'll need to authenticate with factotum. Example: $ factotum -n $ srv -a -k user=djc sources.cs.bell-labs.com $ mount -t 9p -o unix,trans=unix,uname=djc $(namespace)/sources.cs.bell-labs.com /n/sources -- David du Colombier

Re: [9fans] tls 1.2
> The libsec-chacha.diff patch is not useful, since it's not used yet. Just to clarify. The libsec-chacha.diff patch implements ChaCha20 stream cipher in libsec. It was developped by Charles Forsyth. (https://bitbucket.org/plan9-from-bell-labs/plan9). To make use of it, you have to implement Poly1305 algorithm in libsec and change devtls and tlshand to support ChaCha20 and Poly1305. These changes are already available as part of 9front. -- David du Colombier
