[9fans] Acme: indicator of running process

[dexen deVries]

hi list,


a long running process (e.g. `git submodule update') does not give any 
indication as to whether it is running or dead already, save for some progress 
messages, if any. i would like a clear indicator in Acme's $cwd+Error window 
the process outputs to.

i guess the state of the /dev/stdout of Acme's child process whould be a good 
indicator for most cases. is there any handy hack to indicate whether the 
/dev/stdout is open in any particular Acme window? or any other indicator 
whether a process is still working or dead?

yes, i know names of processes are displayed in top Tag line, but in my cases, 
usually several gits are ran along (git gui, git submodule, etc.etc.)

using p9p Acme.


cheers,

You got git running under Plan 9?  I can't even get it pkg-installed
on NetBSD, because somewhere in the long chain of dependencies it
requires /usr/X11R7 to be present!

He was asking about plan9port.

I don't have a problem with that, myself, but I thought there was a
separate mailing list for plan9port?  That's what prompted me to ask,
there was no explicit mention of p9p in Devon's message.

Oh dear, I do apologise.  I'll read messages more carefully in future. :-(

The last sentence was

"using p9p Acme."

This is a p9p on Mac OS X mailing list.

Nothing wrong there, the real Plan 9 has long stopped standing up!

sorry, no.

IMHO it would make more sense to implement git-like toolkit, protocol- and 
fast-export/fast-import compatible with git, using Venti as storage backend.

would heavy use of git-rebase fill up the Venti storage too quickly?

is it too much noise to ask about p9p Acme on this mailing list?

Should be ok for anything with a "9" in its name

So is anyone brave enough to port 9it?
