Subject: [9fans] 9atom installation fails due to missing files
Topicbox-Message-UUID: 6a536c68-ead8-11e9-9d60-3106f5b1d025

Hello,
today i finally made it to one of the things i was looking forward
to, installing 9atom.  It was a truly smooth experience.  (Some
`cannot set [gu]id on xy' messages, mostly for a `bootes' user in
/usr and /cron, and also for secstore{,/store,/who}.)

But then, unfortunately, there were quite some copy errors which
caused the installation to fail.

  /n/[newfs - dist]/68020/lib/{ape,libc.a}
  /n/[newfs - dist]/alpha/lib/{ape,libc.a}
  /n/newfs/sys/src/pcpae/{archacpi,audioac97{,m},audiohd}.c
      (because /n/newfs/sys/src/pcpae doesn't exist)

Oh, what a shame!  Is there anything i can do about that?  (The
9atom.iso has been downloaded on 2013-06-25.)  Any help on Monday
would bee appreciated!

P.S.: Does the Plan9/9atom awk(1) has the same bug that i ran into
this week?  It is present in all awk(1)s i've tested, including
GNU awk(1) ($TAWK is simply awk, and UnicodeData.txt is 6.2.0):

  ## Input producers

  io_unicode_data() {
    < unicode/UnicodeData.txt ${TAWK} '
      BEGIN {FS = ";" ; OFS = ";"}
      # There are no comments in this, but..
      /^[[:space:]]*[^#]+$/ {
        i = $2
        # Ranges must become unrolled, otherwise step on
        if (i !~ /, First>/) {
          $2 = ""
          print
          next
        }

        r1 = sprintf("%d", "0x" $1)
        getline
        r2 = sprintf("%d", "0x" $1)
        $2 = ""
        # Note: this gets around bugs in all tested awk(1)s: the range
        # F0000-FFFFD, and only that one, will *not* be evaluated unless we to
        # force integerfication
        r1 = r1 + 0
        r2 = r2 + 0
        while (r1 <= r2) {
          $1 = sprintf("%X", r1)
          printf "%s\n", $0
          ++r1
        }
      }
    '
  }

Thanks and ciao!
