Good question. The 9pi image started out as pure Bell Labs 4th edition in a ready-to-use form for the Raspberry Pi. Over the years the kernel and usb drivers have evolved to keep up with subsequent Pi hardware development. Outside the kernel I've applied some patches, from /n/sources/patch and a few from 9legacy and 9front, which I considered essential for usability. (The measure of usability includes being able to run a plan9-arm Go builder.) It's still closer to 4th edition than to any of the other versions. ------------------------------------------ 9fans: 9fans Permalink: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/T417f4caea0708c0a-M9e0143071b9891933398c460 Delivery options: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/subscription
