after months of being slack, and the abandonning of the automated version,
(it was functional, but visually ugly) i've updated:
http://mapage.noos.fr/~repo
to include:
1) my mail which includes russ' mail:
how to do a (floppy) diskless plan 9 install
so it will be publicly available and i won't lose it again.
2) A basic irc bot that evals commands it's given with
the permission & namespace of whoever started it.
http://www.proweb.co.uk/~matt/chugly.rc
my apologies to matt for the delay.
once i get the azerty mess worked out i'll add it too.
and then the bits necessary for the mythical python port.

The wiki claims that
* There's a Python port at
[http://csociety-ftp.ecn.purdue.edu/pub/plan9/python/].
Does this one not work, Boyd?

I did it; it only kind of works. There are some bugs. Boyd can fix
them if he wants to. Also, it uses APE, and so there are a set of
things that it would be nice to extend it to do that you can't, such as
using the graphics/drawing libraries (since those won't work as far as I
can reason with the APE libraries, since there are functions with the
same names that do different things in libc/libap).
Plus it can't do dynamic loading of compiled C code from shared
libraries for obvious reasons and so there is a rather large subset of
python programs that won't work.

i didn't know there was a port, but i have two motivations, err 3:
1. finally wanna do some plan 9 work (and now i have the time)
2. i want to do a native port (ie. no ape, except pcc -E)
3. i'll learn a lot about python

that can't be too hard. i'm pretty sure brucee's 'bedbug' debugger
could dynamically load and execute stuff. i remember him showing
me the code at basser in '83 or so.

Yeah, we had that discussion some time ago, and a lot of Plan 9 people
claimed that the library incompatibilities weren't a problem!

well, it's up, a first cut, distributed and works.
no passwords, no nuthin'.
the beauty of a web solution is that it's not resource limited
(among other things).
if you find broken links report them.
i you don't like it flame away.
if you've got a better idea mail/post it.
btw: 'repo' is taken from the film _repo man_.
