[9fans] I want to port some program or driver

[Siddharth Prakash Singh]

Hi all,

I want to port some program or driver to Plan9 which is challenging as
well as important for Plan9. Please suggest me .

Is any JVM ported to Plan9? or Firefox? or any other suggestions

Anticipating replies.

Siddharth

I suggest you to invent something new instead of porting.

it would be nice to take the existing usb code -- which is all user
mode code -- and get hot plug working,such that I could pop
mice,keyboards, disks, etc in at will and have the right bits all
start/stop when such events happen.

I think this is a good project as it is self-contained, a good intro,
and something that plan 9 does not do well right now (hot plug)

if i were you, i'd start with something simple first, to
find my way round the system.  it's probably also not a bad
idea, as someone else suggested, to write a few small programs
for plan 9 itself, just to see the differences.  write a silly
concurrent program using thread(2), for instance, and perhaps a
little file server; but don't start writing your own until
you've read some of the existing ones.

for porting, both examples you've suggested are somewhat bigger than huge,
and perhaps not good things to try first.

this isn't your bug, but in a similar vein i submitted a patch
to factotum for reading such a key from the ctl file.

in particular, i'd like to be able to use factotum to hold my keys.

btw, i recently added a 2k rsa key for ssh to my secstore. now
my factotum (in 9vx on OS X) periodically crashes. when it
happens, it's always after i ssh using the key. anyone seen
anything similar, or alternately have success with 2k rsa keys
in ssh v1 via factotum?

i wasn't able to get it to work very well.  a solid native implementation
would still be worthwhile.

There is a TODO page on the wiki which might give you some ideas.

The two pieces of unfinished business that spring to my mind
are the Centrino driver and the ssh V2 client, both started by
Russ.

These have the advantage of being started by a very talented
programmer so you could learn from the existing code as well
as building on the structure to produce somthing useful.

Just my 2¢ worth.

I think support for more wireless network cards was mentioned in the past.

Or perhaps better support for graphics/network support under recent
virtual environments: VMware, Sun Virtual Box, MS Virtual Server.

hi all,

I want to port some program or driver to plan9 which has not been

Please suggest me !
