Subject: [9fans] A note about new software for Plan 9
Date: Tue, 12 Mar 2013 01:22:04 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <d290683c756f52bdc9468886bc5f4e00@sphericalharmony.com> (raw)

Hi 9fans.  I think I wrote my Advanced Namespace Tools message in an
unclear way.  Let me try again.

I have some new software for Plan 9.  It is based on manipulating
namespaces.  The 9pcram kernel has a new bootup which lets it control
multiple independent namespaces.  It is the foundation for a
collection of tools which manipulate namespace.  I think it adds
useful new features to Plan 9 and also solves some existing issues.

This project, Advanced Namespace Tools, is an attempt to make
something of high quality which lives up to the Plan 9 standard and
also extends what Plan 9 can do.  I have created bootable VM images,
tutorials for the software, and extensive documentation.  I have been
using and testing it myself every day and I believe it is genuinely
useful.

ants.9gridchan.org is served with 9p, ftp, and http and has the
software itself

antfarm.9gridchan.org/Overview and related pages have tutorials for
pre-installed ANTS vms

9gridchan.org has links to 2 vm images, one tiny (6mb) and one fully
installed (132mb) which can be used to explore the Advanced Namespace
Tools.

I'd really like to discuss these things with other Plan 9 users - I'm
friendly and even though my software is called ANTS, I don't think it
will actually bite you.
