Hi!
probably is a very good DoS ... but you could help to developing some things
...
This is the "To-Do" list. You are welcome. ;-)
Thanks.
*TODO* Please *list *the software you are working (or plan to be working)
on in the first section below. Listing your name or email address for
contact would be good too.
The second section below is for stuff in your *todo **list *that you would
like others to do.
IN PROGRESS
- Port to iMac
http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~412/projects/9mac/<
http://www.cs.cmu.edu/%%7E412/projects/9mac/>
- IBM Research Hypervisor Support for x86/ppc kernels (11/2004) --
ericvh <
http://cm.bell-labs.com/wiki/plan9/ericvh>
- Making the fmt library more portable by safer use of varargs and
adding %%'d and %%4$d POSIX extensions for internationalization. -- rob
- 9P2000.u <
http://cm.bell-labs.com/wiki/plan9/9P2000.u> (9/2004) UNIX
extensions to the 9P2000 prototocol --
ericvh<
http://cm.bell-labs.com/wiki/plan9/ericvh>& ron minnich
- CIFS Server <
http://www.9fs.org/dist/aquarela>. Early days, but some
usable functionality.
- TinyGL <
http://fabrice.bellard.free.fr/TinyGL/>. A very light
implementation of a subset of the OpenGL graphics library. Already ported to
several non-X windowing environments -- mirtchov@cpsc, stalled, better
shoot for the real thing and port MesaGL. This has also stalled for a year
-- the software rendering compiles with ape/pcc, but the driver for draw()
is half-done.
- LinuxBIOS <
http://www.linuxbios.org/> Mods needed to get *Plan9 *to
load directly from flash (no 9load) via LinuxBIOS. Also see if I can
get POST codes into the startup code -- makes debugging new platforms tons
easier. No impact once the node is up.
- Read-only FFS (both UFS1 and UFS2) -- wkj
- Native port of GSL (GNU Scientific Library): numerical integration
almost working, random distributions in progress -- ++pac
community<
http://cm.bell-labs.com/wiki/plan9/community>2005Apr29
- 64-bit MIPS port. Currently targeted towards SGI's R4K+ systems. --
tim at nop dot cx
- 802.1x supplicant. in progress, /n/sources/contrib/axel/8021x . Only
supports ttls-pap, that's all I can test here. If you can test other
variants, please contact me -- axel.belinfante@cs.utwente.nl
- SNMP File System Server (and mount client). Gabriel Diaz <
gabidiaz@
gmail.com> and Rodolfo Garcia (the kix). <
rodolfogarciap@
gmail.com>
- DFS layer to go on top of aux/cifs - currently a working DFS client
has been bodged into cifs, the seperate layer will grow from this -Steve
- Centrino wifi driver, mostly written, needs to be finishd, see
/n/sources/contrib/rsc/ipw2200
WISH *LIST*
- Implement some form of compression in devssl and make drawterm use
it.
- a mechanism to lock-focus in ACME (particularly for locking focus in
the menu bars) to help make things more useable in the face of mouse drift.
- *tiff*(1) <
http://plan9.bell-labs.com/magic/man2html/1/tiff> in a
similar vein to *jpg*(1)<
http://plan9.bell-labs.com/magic/man2html/1/jpg>,
*png*(1) <
http://plan9.bell-labs.com/magic/man2html/1/png> etc. Andrey
has already ported libtiff see /n/sources/contrig/andrey/libtiff.tgz which
should help.
- More ACPI support, see
http://www.acpi.info/
- cdfs to be able to write to DVDs
- SPF Sender Policy Framework <
http://www.openspf.org/> parser/checker
for use in /mail/lib/validatesender.
- SSH v2 - This project has stalled and is looking for a new owner.
See /n/sources/contrib/rsc/sshv2.tar.gz
- x86 emulator to run the VESA BIOS on PCs, basic emulator already
exists in /n/sources/contrib/rsc/8i
- webdavfs - for MS Exchange
- Kerberos 5 client
- replica/pull to have a -m (3 way merge) option
- GUI image manipulation program -
*page*(1)<
http://plan9.bell-labs.com/magic/man2html/1/page>crossed
with
*sam*(1) <
http://plan9.bell-labs.com/magic/man2html/1/sam> which calls
*resample*(1) <
http://plan9.bell-labs.com/magic/man2html/1/resample>and
*crop*(1) <
http://plan9.bell-labs.com/magic/man2html/1/crop> (and
other tools)
- A basic http/ftp proxy - maybe cache/regex advert stripping too.
- htmlfmt to understand tables.
- A new option to the fossil console snap command, allowing an already
ingested vac score to be inserted into the /archive tree.
- upas/fs modified to leave mail messages on remote media rather than
loading them into RAM
- 64-bit PowerPC compilers.
- cryptfs (see
http://www.crypto.com/papers/cfs.pdf).
- GBDE (see
http://phk.freebsd.dk/pubs/bsdcon-03.gbde.paper.pdf and
http://lists.cse.psu.edu/archives/9fans/2005-February/040378.html).
- LDAP File System Server
- Linux binary emulator
linuxemu<
http://pdos.lcs.mit.edu/%%7Ersc/linuxemu.tar.gz>in theory,
linuxemu
ld-linux.so.1 bin/a.dynamic is supposed to work, but unfortunately
ld-linux.so.1 wants to be loaded where the linuxemu text segment is.
you'd need to move the linuxemu text segment somewhere else and then
segdetach it before calling elfload. it's entirely doable, especially since
x86 code is position independent. ... The libraries have changed since I did
the initial work ... looks like there are new system calls to implement! --
Russ Cox
- Tk emulator/port.
- Command windows instead of menus, everywhere. Maybe a single system
cmd win connected to the last touched win-- ++pac
- Input server for Chinese/Japanese/Korean.
- Some sort of user space emulator, like qemu, for Plan 9.
- A way for acme applications to set the 'scratch' flag (specially for
win)
- LyX port to Plan 9. This is probably going to require:
- Self-hosting GNU toolchain, including g++. This could be restarted
from the existing work.
HARDWARE DRIVERS IN PROGRESS
- PPC970 Port (in faith, haven't started yet, but going to shortly) --
ericvh <
http://cm.bell-labs.com/wiki/plan9/ericvh>
- Updating LANL SIS Ethernet driver to support other chipset revisions
(11/2004) -- Devon H. O'Dell
- GigE driver for the SysKonnect family of cards (work in progress) --
cnielsen@
pobox.com
- USB keyboard driver. (Some motherboards provide BIOS options to
emulate USB keyboards as PS2 keyboards, but this doesn't work for everyone)
-- proper solution is in progress:
/n/sources/contrib/nemo/sys/src/cmd/usb/hid/
- USB hard disk support, allowing access to IPods and other usb
storage devices. In progress: /n/sources/miller/usb/storage
HARDWARE DRIVERS WANTED
- IRDA comms
- AC97 support
DONE PROJECTS
- Currently at sources: /nemo Redirfs: Fail over from one file server
to another. Working. Still on testing. -- nemo@*plan9*.escet.urjc.es.
- A read-only version of upas/fs that you can export via 9P2000 to be
used for people to browse/search 9fans and plan9dev without having to use
Google: Use exportfs -R; the TIP9UG guys plan to setup this on their public
servers.
- A port of AT&T GraphViz - open source graph drawing software (see
http://www.graphviz.org/). Compiled graphviz-1.10 with mk and pcc
(dot, neato, twopi). The plan9 source is at
http://www2.davidashen.net/graphviz-p9.tbz -- dvd@
davidashen.net
- 64-bit (or 32-bit) version of /sys/src/fs with IDE DMA and RWM,
Intel Gbe driver, longer filename components and more
http://www.collyer.net/sys/doc/fs64/fs.ps. The distribution is
http://www.collyer.net/who/geoff/9/fs64.tgz. -- geoff
- Unionfs. To merge several trees without binding each directory. For
example, to make a patch for a read only media. (see
