[9fans] cpdir

[Kenji Arisawa]

Hello 9fans.

cpdir is updated to ver.1.4
-x option is added

#
#	Usage
#
Usage: cpdir [-vugRm]  [-l file] [-x xfile] srcdir destdir [path ...]
Options and arguments:
	-v: verbose
	-u: copy owner info
	-g: copy group info
	-R: remove redundant files and directories in dstdir
	-m: merge
	-l file:
		A file of path list to be processed.
		Path list must be a path per line.
	-x xfile
		A file of path list that should not be copied.
		Path list must be a path per line.
		Rc style globe expression is allowed for the path.
		In the matching rule, "/" is simply a character.
	srcdir:
		source dir from which copy is made.
	destdir:
		destination dir in which copy is made.
	path ... : pathes in source to be processed.

Function:
	`cpdir' makes effort to make a copy of file in srcdir
	to dstdir. Those that are copied are:
	- contents
	- modification time
	- permissions
	- group	if possible. (under -g option)
	- owner if possible. (under -u option)
	What happens if there are files of same name
	in both source and destination?
	Let s.mtime and d.mtime be modification time of source
	and destination respectively. Then `cpdir' copies:
	- contents (if s.mtime > d.mtime)
	- modification time (if source.mtime > destination.mtime)
	- permissions (if s.mtime >= d.mtime)
	- group	(under -g option, if s.mtime >= d.mtime)
	- owner if possible. (under -u option, if s.mtime >= d.mtime)
	With -R option, `cpdir' removes files and directories
	in destination that are non-existent in source.

Hello

Current disk/mkfs works similar to cpdir
	disk/mkfs -s foo -d bar /sys/lib/proto/allproto
However old mkfs had not -d option.
Cpdir was designed and coded at that time of Plan 9 (ver.2),
so that I can make a copy of directory more handy.

Cpdir has a functionality that is different from disk/mkfs.

We have one which is a recursive cp of a directory using tar, but you are not
talking about that are you?.

I use something like this with Plan 9 on Parallels, but it's a lot
easier there IMO as I just update the keymaps.

Yeah I realized that I totally misread after I sent the email :-).
Inferno with native graphics on Mac OS X is a huge step for me to use
it more often.  Especially when I can have things like acme-sac.

I have a hideous little hack in my version of drawterm that turn F1- 
F2-F3 into the three mouse buttons to help with using my macbook.  It  
took some getting used to, but it works.  Andrey also added some  
support for using the option and apple keys as modifiers and which  
also support chording.  His change is probably more usable than mine.

Re: [9fans] cpdir

[Abhey Shah]

Neither, it lets you use native graphics on os x.
It's a bit nippier then the x11 version, and
The only problem is no support for single button trackpads/mice.
I made it it by doing mk -f mkfile-a in the latest $infernoroot/emu/ 
MacOSX directory.
Though you can use inferno as a drawterm via wmexport/wmimport and 9win

And this would allow drawterm to Inferno via Inferno drawterm?  Or
drawterm from Inferno to Plan 9?

Please do write it up, I currently have a idea running in the back of  
my head of making inferno drawtermable, and leveraging the recent  
port of drawterm to os x. Then no need to use X11 for inferno.  
There's probably a better/more simple way of doing this.

[Devon H. O'Dell]

Since I'm getting back into the swing of things, I want to give
praises as well as scoldings.

Scoldings: interoperability for doing things like exporting
filesystems to Inferno and importing these is a huge pain in the ass,
and poorly documented. (Yes, I know, write documents, Devon). I'm just
pointing out that, after talking with Kris for 2 hours last night, I
finally got the magical auth stuff and everything working well enough
to mount my Inferno exported filesystem. (I tried exporting from Plan
9 to Inferno, but I kept getting fversion conversion problems).

A lot of my problems are due to misconceptions and misunderstandings
about what things do.

Praises: cpdir -m is amazing. 10 thumbs up. Cookies, kudos and beer.
Utilities like this need to be in the main distribution.

--dho
