Some things don't worth the effort of writing them natively (gs, antiword, etc) others do, cvsfs comes to my mind. Talking about my pseudo-needs now, I'd like to have an X server to run crap in linuxemu, so I don't have to reboot just to see some web page or whatever. Of course that doesn't mean that I want kde, gnome, or whatever. Changing the subject and talking more about things done in Plan 9 and maybe in the Plan 9 way, I added changelog functionality to the contrib tools, when a maintainer does a push the window is put in hold mode so the he/she/it enters a line explaining the changes. Also contrib/list now has a "-c" flag which shows you the changes done since the last pull if installed, otherwise the whole changelog. lotte% contrib/list -c fgb/openssl fgb/openssl: Tue Jan 22 17:24:31 ART 2008 Updated from 0.9.7e to 0.9.8g. lotte% not much, but something...
