Those arguments are still valid, but the issue is lesser important now due the new /event-driven mechanism, which makes double-forks for each shortcut/click obsolete. And most calls are wmiir calls still, and wmiir is statically linked. > why its bad to depend on it? I mean sure more people will The bad side about 9base is, that it duplicates work which is already done by Russ, though plan9port does contain much more stuff. But I will help Russ to modularize things in plan9port, that we don't make changes in two places (or forks). On the other hand, many people won't install plan9port because it is somewhat too fat (20MB source code), thus the rc scripts as an option, maybe with ready-to-go interaction/integration into p9p and plumber, and other tools, as an extra/ option should be the way to go. Isn't that reason enough? Regards, -- Anselm R.
