Interesting movie. Parts of it I dearly love, other parts not so
much. A lot like Night on Earth, where some sections were painful to
sit through but Benigni's chapter is just a jewel of film.

How come the Renée French who appears in Jim Jarmusch's "Coffee and
Cigarettes" has nothing to with the Renée French who drew Glenda? How
probable is for two people of artistic inclination to have the exact same
name? Or is Glenda's creator hiding her identity as part of Plan 9 for
World Domination?

sorry, got cut off. then in most cases, i'd expect 9fs dump to make it easy to track down the
set of differences, and narrow the search to the culprit. it might not even be a source change,
but a configuration file, or a file was moved or removed.

Hi,
I am reading the lib9p/ramfs.c file and I can't understand this (in threadmain):
+ Qid q;
+ ...
+ q = fs.tree->root->dir.qid;
Because *q* is not longer used.
Why *q* is defined and assigned?
Thanks
Saludos, kix.

I agree with erik, given 9fs dump I have no need for SCM,
however the return of the /n/sources/extra/changes would be
wonderful.
For the couple of years the guys at the labs where keeping one
up to date I found it very interesting and, I think I learnt
a lot. It also helped me to feel more envolved and focused on
the development of plan9.
I do understand its a pain it have to write messages especially when
time is short enough to just write the code, however I would enter a plee
for it to return, even if its just a sentence per update/patch.
my 2 cents.

Mostly off-topic, but the newly released linux 2.6.28 talks about the
"Nokia phonet protocol". Google "helpfully" returns all sorts of
things with "phone" in it as a match to "phonet", making it a bit hard
to find more detailed protocol documentation. Anyone have a pointer to
anything more definitive than the phonet.txt in the linux kernel tree?

I surely hope the festive mood of the season will protect me from being
ostracized for asking this, but is there any chance to map Plan9
development practices to some of the established ways of source
code management? I mostly long for things like being able to browse
Plan9 history with a clear understanding of who did what and for
what reason.

exactly the same as plan 9 does.
as long as the fs supports a dump fs, 9vx will support yesterday.
for example, i've been mounting my diskless fs with 9vx. yesterday
works just fine. i'm sure you could use a linux-based venti with
plan 9-based fossil as well.

But yesterday won't work in a more lightweight environment (such as
9vx) will it?

Speaking of which
-- is there any FAQ on the current development
practices
of the Plan9 project? Things like patch lifecycle, etc.?
Thanks,
Roman.
