Is there a limit to the number of pull-s one can do from
sources.cs.bell-labs.com? If there is, I must've reached it since my
replica/pull simply returns without issuing any errors or warnings...
I'm paranoid because I've modified slightly /dist/replica/network to mount
fossil (/srv/boot /n/boot) instead of the default kfs and I'm worried that
something may be wrong with what I've done...
Also, I know chgrp's man page says that I need to be in 'allow' mode to
change the owner of a file, but I feel slightly uncomfortable having all
those files in the main tree owned by my update user (I've removed myself
as the update user -- again too paranoid that I may do 'mk' in /sys/src/cmd
without having bound my private src/ before it...). Besides, replica/pull
complains a lot because it tries to chgrp -u sys all new files...
What do you think? Should files be neatly 'chgrp -u sys'-ed? Or should I do
a pull only in a fossil -A mode (equivalent to disk/kfscmd allow)?

I hesitate to apply replica direct to real file server/fossil. ☺

I've been doing it to my kfs server for 8 months without a hitch (I trust
both Russ' testing process and bell-labs developers enough for that) on a
machine with a single user -- me. None of my development stuff is touchable
by replica at all, too.
Now with fossil I managed to overwrite cpurc and termrc (two servers with
the same name, wrong rio window, etc :) but I just copied the old ones from
last night's venti snap.
With fossil and a mirrored disk I feel much more comfortable doing daily
updates, and much less paranoid of loosing my data.
