using tlssrv is an option, as is import, but what was saying it fossil’s native 9p server does not support tls, which it doesn't - i dont believe anyone has added it.
the issue is 9boot would need tls to be able download the kernel from a file server and it doesn’t have it. this is the labs boot procedure of course.
9front booting uses a full kernel to bootstrap (correct me if i am wrong) so tls is not a problem there.
anyway, fossil does not have tls and i would like to have. such a change would mean changes to the labs distro boot proceedure

i'm sorry, what? lack of TLS?
go read 9front's tlssrv(8). it's been there for a while already.

fyi i have been running a fossil/venti pair since 2004 and it has been solid.
what is too big - honest question.
i thought the biggest issues are:
performance - the elegance and generality sacrifice some performance, though this is not a problem for me.
lack of a tls fs interface - there is (imho) no excuse for a lack of tls these days.
no way for a user in (say) the ventidump group to request an immediate dump - handy for checkpointing a code release, though justing copying the release to a new dir is ok.
no way to push a vac score into the /archive hierarchy - nice for migrating in other backups.
all these are fixable and on my todo list but none have happened.
