Re: [9fans] new usb implementation
I suspect that mouse requires using the report protocol (most mice are fine with the boot protocol, which is what kb uses). I'll write a variant of the driver using the report protocol just to be sure that's the problem, but It'll have to wait a few days.

Re: [9fans] new usb implementation
Ok. In any case, if there's any other mouse that does not work. Please, let me know. I'm trying to get a mouse exactly like yours.

Re: [9fans] acme: 2-1chord on Edit in a 'win window' tag doesn't work
In some acme window I have a command, e.g simply s/f/g/, I select it with a mouse and 2-1 chord it on the Edit command in a tag line of a window in which there is win running and also some text (for us e.g. abcdefgh) is selected. Nothing happens. Only when the s/f/g/ is copied in the tag line and the whole (together with the Edit) is 2-selected, the command is executed, i.e. abcdefgh - abcdeggh. This only happens for a win window, ordinary text window is ok as well as a directory window. This is a design bug in acme. Acme sends events like this to external programs to handle, and if the program can't handle it, it sends the event back. Unfortunately, the send it back protocol is more limited and doesn't include a way to echo back the fact that this was an argument from a different window. So after this game of telephone, acme thinks you just 2-clicked Edit, not 2-1 clicked. Russ
Re: [9fans] critique of sockets API
perhaps you think this is doging the question, but the cannonical plan 9 approach to this is to note that it's easy (trivial) to have a n reader threads and m worker threads s.t. i/o threads don't block I'll agree. With multi threading the network read/write operations could be pipelined to minimize the overhead.
Re: [9fans] Different representations of the same file/resource in a synthetic FS
В Втр, 09/06/2009 в 11:27 -0600, andrey mirtchovski пишет: I think I've mentioned this before, but on a few of my synthetic file systems here I'm using what you describe to slice a database by specific orderings. For example, I have a (long) list of resources which I'm managing in a particular environment each has an owner, type, status and a few static data containers. It's all backed by a relational database, but the file server presents different slices of that to external users, where the directory structure is rigidly defined as: / available/ by-type/ by-owner/ inuse/ ... with all data to fill the directories being dynamically pulled from the database. This looks like a slightly different use case than what I'm worried about. Mainly it seems that you don't really have to deal with the representations of the same resource, your problem is how to group these resources in a reasonable fashion. Essentially you're mapping a relational database to a tree hierarchy. In your case, the sooner you have the fork of by-this/ by-that/ in your hierarchy -- the better. My case is a flip side of that. In fact, my worst case scenario is that I can't really predict all the representations of existing resources down the road, thus it appears that I have to push that part of a filename as close to an actual file as possible: /long-path/file.representation I'm almost tempted to consider virtual extensions: /long-path/file ## default representation /long-path/file.gif /long-path/file.pdf but at that point it becomes no more appealing than the content negotiation techniques of HTTP. Thanks, Roman.
Re: [9fans] Different representations of the same
but at that point it becomes no more appealing than the content negotiation techniques of HTTP. I thought you might want a ctl file into which you write the representation you want and that magically creates a new file or directory. Or use a clone style protocol which is more suitable for the automatic creation of new entities. The mntgen approach is clever, but I find the Schroedinger Cat nature of it a little daunting. Of course, you may specifically want to go for a totally different approach, in which case I plead guilty to not understanding the exact nature of the solution you're seeking. ++L

Has anyone tried this? Is there a way to do it? How about configuring Acme Mail to use something other than marshal (say, mutt)? I quail every time I hear the name mutt. Its config file has beaten me more times than I care to remember, mostly because of it's sheer size.
