hello all, I wanted to check back in about the continuing saga to port a dp9ik patch upstream. where I believe we left off in that discussion, there was advice to make a roadmap, involving some kinds of software development techniques I don't understand at all, to be completely honest... I have tried to keep after that a bit and try to figure out a roadmap based on what I have done before and what it would take to do this. before I ever started on this project at all, I had looked into dp9ik before to re-implement it in javascript for another project, so I do know a little about the login process and how dp9ik works as a pre-shared key authenticator for an encrypted connection. (not the math behind that though! just ported what was necessary to javascript) I started doing the same thing kinda, just back-porting stuff to send a patch upstream. it rapidly started becoming as much of a mess as my efforts to port to javascript, what was only C to C! I'm not a professional here at all... I did note it seemed helpful to have both types of plan 9 systems and both types of drawterm because of slight differences in the keyboard input thanks everyone! ------------------------------------------ 9fans: 9fans Permalink: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/T21443e91804188d5-Mb0b7e7708b2883c78c2fd9d6 Delivery options: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/subscription
