Hi folks,

I notice that http://plan9.bell-labs.com/plan9/download/plan9.iso.bz2
is from 2015-01-10, whereas Richard Miller's
http://plan9.bell-labs.com/sources/contrib/miller/9pi.img.gz

was built on 2016-05-30.  I was wondering whether the changes made
by Mr. Miller for supporting the Raspberry Pi were getting folded
back into a source tree available via means other than those with
an active plan9 system (I see references to  /n/sources/contrib/miller
which I assume is a 9fs mount).

I was specifically curious because I wanted to poke around to get
sense of what kind of support is available for the Raspberry Pi 3
vs. the Raspberry Pi 2.  There were some early emails indicating
a few small changes Mr. Miller needed to make for booting the
system, but I couldn't find anything discussing whether other
hardware was supported (e.g., the built-in wifi on the Pi 3).

Jim
