Re: [9front] Error compiling libc/amd64/main9.s and/or main9p.s

For what it's worth it's really not you being dumb, this is a flaw
in how we distribute information. Our information channels are well
detached from our update channels.

I think this is the 10th or so time someone has stumbled in to this,
so I am glad sl added it to the fqa.

We've discussed a solution to this a few times but nothing has stuck.
Let me give an idea then and we can find something that sticks.

Maybe /sys/lib/sysupdate (not attached to the path) could have a file
named after a commit with specific update instructions. Sysupdate
could then get the list of commits it is updating through, and cat
out those files from that directory.


Thanks,
moody
