[9fans] request for testers of next beta release of tvx

[EBo <ebo@sandien.com>]

Sorry for the delay.  While working on the next release of tvx, TCL's
maintainers have been away for a little while and expect to get back to
addressing uploading the newest version of tvx (including the proposed name
changes) after Wednesday.

Is anybody interested and willing to do some testing between now and then?
If so, please upload the tarball from
ftp://ftp.swcp.com/pub/tmp/tvx_tcz_files.tgz and uncompress them into TCL's
/mnt/sd*1/tce/optional/.  I am hoping with a bit of testing I can release
version 1.0 of tvx, and start moving onto other things.

As a note, this version includes:

  * name change from Tvx-* to tvx* (while this has been tested it has not
completed TCL review/acceptance)

  * updates to tvx (including removal of -O3 flag, and cp's H/L or sudo
option)

  * fixes to tvxroot (including missing mkfile.proto, etc.)

  * addition of Ron's 9pm, ratrace, and live hg pull instructions to
tvxroot

  * minor patches to 9pm to avoid name clashes and use /tmp insead of
current directory for downloaded iso's

  * establishing a tvxroot repository on bitbucket.org

  * add date tags to tvxroot repository to help manage automated builds.

Thanks and best regards,

  EBo --
