<solid_black>jab: check this out then :D

<solid_black>.TH INTRO 1

<solid_black>.SH NAME

<solid_black>intro \- introduction to Plan 9

<solid_black>also heh, have they added nix?

<solid_black>it would of course be especially useful if we had virtio

<solid_black>would anyone here be interested in hacking on 9pfs?

<rsmarples>ok, dhcpcd now compiles at least on gentoo hurd

<rsmarples>a lack of a working git and a working means of updating portage is a little hampering

<rsmarples>sam_: can you help at all here? emerge --sync gives manifest corruption and git barfs on ipc failures (some packages did as well during emerge installation)

<rsmarples>not to mention the many hours an emerge --sync takes, sheesh

<sam_>rsmarples: if you try emerge-webrsync it should be a fair bit faster

<sam_>rsmarples: but I've managed to build git okay myself when I last tried not long ago

<rsmarples>sam_: ok, will try emerge-webrsync

<rsmarples>sam_: do you know if gentoo/hurd uses rumpnet? I see a lot of NetBSD kernel startup when hurd boots.

<sam_>rsmarples: we use rumpdisk unconditionally (not just for amd64, but also x86), but rumpnet we use only for amd64 right now

<sam_>in general the x86 experience is a bit smoother still (at least with gentoo/hurd) than amd64 right now

<sam_>i've done most of my testing on x86

<rsmarples>interesting

<sam_>(read: way more stable)

<rsmarples>sam_: does userland know any difference re rumpnet vx linux/netdde?

<rsmarples>ioctls, expected if_flags meaning, etc

<rsmarples>im specifically looking at IFF_RUNNING meaning "carrier be here"

<rsmarples>as it's different on Linux vs BSD

<rsmarples>bbl, school run

<sam_>can't say sorry, I went straight from the crusty drivers in mach (what x86 uses) -> rumpnet, i didn't try netdde for gentoo at all

<sam_>(and didn't really probe at any network porting stuff yet)

<sam_>I only started on it a few months ago

<rsmarples>alr, webrsync worked

<rsmarples>lets see if updating portage magically fixes git

<rsmarples>97 packages to update

<rsmarples>ah yes, gentoo. now I remember why I left, constantly dealing with package breakage

<rsmarples>sam_: is there a gentoo specific hurd channel? don't want to create platform specific noise here

<rsmarples>ah nvm, another emerge and it gets past that configure step. flaky

<sam_>#gentoo-hurd

<sam_>but again I doubt it's actually the packages themselves

<sam_>i think it's to do with some instability on amd64 i haven't tried to debug let alone report yet

<rsmarples>I'm inclined to agree at this point.

<rsmarples>i often see ipc/mig failures during emerge

<sam_>on x86 i've been able to -e @world and it was all fine, on amd64 it seems to hang when src_compile finishes for gcc

<rsmarples>yeah, I'll nix this VM and try x86

<Gooberpatrol_66>solid_black: im defs interested in looking at 9pfs
