notes

This release adds aiju’s games/timmy, a physics simulation game and a bignum calculator for programmers called pc.

On the system side, we got a fast portable /dev/random now which is based on the chacha stream cipher - carefully seeded once at boot time. Cipher states for the rng and other kernel crypto services is now kept in a separate memory pool which devproc will prohibit access to and which automatically destroys the data on free.

Harvey, an operating system with Plan 9’s shadow (2015/08/04)

This is not a Monad tutorial interviewed Álvaro Jurado about the development of Harvey OS, an effort to get the Plan 9 code working with gcc and clang.

From the interview:

What is Harvey OS?

Harvey’s website states that its aim is to provide a modern, distributed, 64­bit operating system that extends the elegance of the original Unix model, in which all resources are represented as files and directories, to a networked environment, and allows for new ways of working.

Bell Labs /n/sources mirrored (2015/07/11)

When plan9.bell-labs.com came back online this week, several of us realized that it was time to create an updated mirror of the whole thing. To that end, several of us have.

A small number of files (restricted permissions, corrupt blocks, etc.) were not copied, but we did grab everything we could. The whole thing is around 3.5GB.

This mirror (and probably others) will stay online indefinitely.

Behold:

; 9fs contrib.9front.org
post...
; ls /n/contrib.9front.org/sources
/n/contrib.9front.org/sources/9grid
/n/contrib.9front.org/sources/adm
/n/contrib.9front.org/sources/contrib
/n/contrib.9front.org/sources/dist
/n/contrib.9front.org/sources/extra

/n/contrib.9front.org/sources/patch
/n/contrib.9front.org/sources/plan9
/n/contrib.9front.org/sources/wiki
/n/contrib.9front.org/sources/xen

Thanks to khm for helping pull it all before the Bell Labs machine goes down again.

Clive (2014/05/24)

From: Francisco J Ballesteros
Date: Fri, 23 May 2014 13:54:27 +0200
To: Fans of the OS Plan 9 from Bell Labs
Subject: [9fans] OT: clive

Hi,

we have been working on a new system, named Clive,
it’s written in Go and includes its new weird file protocol, named zx.
I thought that some of you might be interested, so I’m writing this mail.

The http://lsub.org/ls/clive.html page has links to everything, and,
to avoid noise in 9fans, we will make any further announce regarding
clive at the clivezx google group created for that purpose.

We are using some parts of the system already, but, it’s an ongoing
work on a new research system, beware :-).

Also, we are going to make it run on a modified nix kernel,
but that’s not yet done. Although it will make it more related to 9.

regards

Fix Go on Plan 9 or else (2013/12/02)

Go team member Brad Fitzpatrick has proposed dropping Plan 9 support for the Go. 1.3 release:

This is a discussion about dropping broken and unmaintained Go ports
from the main tree once the Go 1.3 tree opens.

Specifically, I propose deleting plan9 and dragonfly support.  Neither
has many users, nor are they running a builder at
http://build.golang.org/.

Both can be maintained by their respective communities out-of-tree.

Once those communities have builders running and passing all tests,
they can be considered for inclusion back in the tree.  This is
similar to the "tiny" runtime and NaCl support which were once in the
tree but now exist only in the hg history.

The community has responded by setting up a Google Group and IRC channel to coordinate work on the port:

https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/go-plan9

#go-plan9 on freenode

Edit: Plan 9 has been added to http://build.golang.org.
