Hello 9fans:

I was wondering about how frequently the kernel in the Plan 9 iso is
recompiled. (Probably wrong grammar there. My apologies.)

Long story, but I depend on that iso to be able to make a real plan 9 install.

Thanks!

a new .iso is generated every night. however, the sources are sometimes
ahead of the binaries.

The CD image is recreated whenever there are changes,
usually every night. The 9pcflop and 9pccd kernels (the ones
used to boot the install CD) are updated nightly too.
The 9pcf kernel (the one installed and used for regular
booting) is not updated as frequently.

This is last night bootdisk.img

If 9pcflop and 9pccd are updated nightly, then there is something wrong
there...

Thanks for your time.

How so?

Ah.

Don't equate write dates to the distribution media with compile dates.

Apparently I was wrong. Perhaps tonight everything
will get updated.
