Subject: [9fans] Standalone unix port of the original rc shell
Topicbox-Message-UUID: 754756dc-ead0-11e9-9d60-3106f5b1d025

Hi there,

I created a standalone port[1] of rc found in p9p from Russ, based on
the mk-with-libs.tgz "sample". It consists of a lib9 port (including
fmt and utf like in p9p) and the rc source from src/cmd/rc. It is
currently only a proof-of-concept and I plan to clean things up
somewhat more, especially the Makefiles - and I plan to include the
manual page.

It doesn't depends on mk, because in my eyes the mk-based build chain
in p9p is rather complex.

Based on the impressions while porting it I got from p9p, I'll make
several proposals how and why one could/should modularize the whole
p9ports to reduce the monolithic character somewhat and to make it
easier to just use some libs for future development in *NIX world...
