Since the 9P service seems to be more stable, anyone willing to run an
httpd process on Plan 9 can provide web-based access to others -- just
mount /srv/sources within HTTP's namespace and provide webls access to
the DIR.

Thank you for your off-list advice, Mr jmk. I will visit the toy store

You seem to be very good at Plan9. How do I learn such things? I'm a
newbie. Do you play Unreal Tournament? I heard a rumour that it is
used at Bell Labs.

I am still a bit confused about the cost of Plan9. I don't want to be

Re: [9fans] Web interface to '/n/sources/contrib' gone??

2009-02-10 Thread Devon H. O'Dell
All parody aside, Bruce, the service did exist at one point, and it
existed because it was useful to enough people for the labs to make it
and set it up. It's been available for several years. Hiccups aside,
it's a bummer that it's down for so long. At this point, I'd think it
would be obvious that there are people other than the 5 of us who
actually have a Plan 9 machine to drawterm into or an
easily-accessible 9vx instance. Even despite the fact that I *do* have
access to Plan 9 machines and that I *do* have access to 9vx
instances, I find myself looking at the web-exported source during
times it would be infeasible for me to access them (while I'm at work,
for instance).

This is the same thread that comes through 9fans monthly --
 - ``What happened to X?''
 = ``Screw X''
 - ``But I actually use X''
 = ``Who cares''
 = ``X sucks and so do you''
 = ``Go blow goats, etc.''

I can appreciate the humor, but not at the expense of dismissing the
problem. If the labs don't want to keep the thing running, great,
someone else can sync with sources and provide that interface. So,
let's change the question: ``Labs guys, is that thing dead, and should
we set another one up -- or are we back in another hiccup period?''

``Mockery is easy. Helping people is hard.'' It amuses me that, having
come up with such a degrading rant about wanting to access sources via
HTTP, you're sending email on your proverbial Nintendo Lego blocks.

I'm trying to transfer files from my Plan 9 virtual PC to Mac OS X for  
printing; QEMU has no USB yet and SAMBA fails on Mac OS X Leopard. I  
print on systems without plan9ports, and where I have no development  
tools (so I can't build it). Right now I've been using my FTP server,  
but it disconnects me after I access the PDF file, so I need to log on  
and delete it.

I'm talking about the web interface to /n/sources/contrib, which is http://plan9.bell-labs.com/sources/contrib/

 Drawterm/9vx should work also. Though it doesn't help the overloaded
bell-labs http server, of course ;)

Anything wrong with the Live CD? Or doesn't an Apple PC cope.

If you want to complain about qemu, again, this is not the right
mailing list - 95% of the time.

Whizzo Butter

Pepperpot #1: I can't tell the difference between Whizzo butter and
this dead crab.

Interviewer: Yes, we find that 9 out of 10 British housewives can't
tell the difference between Whizzo Butter and a dead crab.

Various Pepperpots: It's true… We can't… No.

[SMB? FTP? Whizzo Butter? Dead Crab?]

 SMB?! FTP?! you're trying too hard.

 if you drawterm from osx to plan9,  your local (osx) fs is
 mounted on /mnt/term. powerpc and pentium binaries
 are available at swtch.com.
