Dev9 is alive

Oh the week is getting really good. First of all, I'm proud to properly announce that we're being sponsored by the Greek company Codex. Markos_ had already given us some code back in the eINIT days, and I've mentioned this sponsoring in each and every release's documentation, but it's just a lot better to have it right on the frontpage! Second, the v9fs patch i wrote has been accepted, so you might be able to use dev9 with the next coolest linux version. Or maybe in two version. Either way, it's coming.

... I've finally slept enough for a change, and last weekend I moved my arse to find that character dev issue in v9fs. Well, now it really is with v9fs. It's a trivial fix too, the patch against current kernels is now on the v9fs-users ML. That means dev9 actually works (with some other issues that I still need to work out :D). Now someone just needs to go and test it... I'll try to patch it into openrc sometime during the week or on the weekend.

First release. It should work in theory, but there seems to be an issue with character device handling in v9fs... or in duat, no idea just yet. Either way, It's a nice snapshot and something to look at.

I completely forgot to point out that there's an official IRC hideout for kyuba.org: #kyuba on freenode. Join up and have fun. Oh and don't forget about #9p, also on freenode, which is made of awesome and plan9 goodiness.

Linux /dev manager. The idea is to write a 9p2000.u server that ends up providing the same functionality as a combined devfs and udev.

This version fixes some memory handling issues that have been pointed out as flaws by sqweek. I also moved my ass a bit to fix the other issues reported by splint in the core library, and i've slightly modified parts of the API.

This is the first release of duat... thanks to syntropy, it even has doxygen documentation ;).

Kyuba is not going be ready any time soon, but I've set the record time for boot up speed for benchmarking, and if you would like some help getting eInit's git-testing running, please come nudge me on #kyuba. I will say that git-testing has been working for me for well over 6 months without problems at all, and I'm running a relatively old machine. If you have issues with einit-0.40.0 only reaching ~80% on boot up, random lock ups or reboots, come talk, as I think git-testing fixes these issues. Glad to see y'all around.

I figured it'd be about time to post some details on the current status of kyuba, einit, dev9, libcurie and libduat. That, and our plans for world domination, of course. ITT: Details on wtf is going on, wtf this is all about and wtf it's good for.

Duat is an I/O library for C applications. It may be used to implement FS-ish servers; the primary method for this is via the 9p2000(.u) protocol. Depending on my mood, it may also include a simple http server and a number of other protocols.

... and here to stay. Been off the interbutts for long enough now, and the wiki isn't exactly a great replacement for this 'ere. Let's get right back to work then, shall we?

Go~~ intertubes!

Curie is a small C library that provides basic I/O, sexpr reading and writing, networking, process handling, signal handling abstraction and process multiplexing in an abstract way. It's designed to work standalone if special glue-code (in assembly) is added; whenever this glue-code is not available, it may use target-specific or generic C code instead.
