Attached is a patch to fixup some of the juke documentation.  If this
should go to some other mailing list (9front-bugs?), let me know, or
if there are issues with it.

summary:     Fix discrepancies between juke, its documentation, and what is on the ISO. /bin/rc/juke uses the name 'classical', but that is not an actual command, and 'hg diff' always shows the difference on a clean install. Additionally, some of the flags were not shown on the 'usage:' line and were not described in the man page.

Maybe we should just remove juke.  Does *anyone* use it?  How?  Why?

Re: [9front] [patch] juke documentation

I do not use it, but my impetus for the patch was to address the 'hg status' on tip--I was annoyed that juke was always shown as modified even tho' I didn't do anything to it. That led me to address the docs. I don't have a dog in the fight for if it should stay or go. I will want to play music at some point (and probably playlists), but there are probably other methods to use (e.g. play(1) + some-other-glue).

Quoth Romano <unobe@cpan.org>:
> the 'hg status' on tip

I recently noticed that as well and found what's causing the issue.

In 7613:721c15f31836 henesy went through the commands and did a number
of cleanups.  However, he failed to notice that /rc/bin/juke isn't a
dist file and is instead being installed by the mkfile from
/sys/src/cmd/games/music.

So now we have two copies of this file, with the original having a
wrong usage message and causing hg status to show it after mk install.

I think we just remove the juke.rc and the mkfile rules to fix this.

I also think we just nuke the juke and replace it with sigrid's zuke.

I think this would probably be for the best. Unless some juke users
come out of the woodwork here I haven't heard of anyone using it.

Controversial proposal: remove juke, merge in zuke instead

Re: [9front] [patch] juke documentation

[cinap_lenrek]

yeah, i agree it is better to replace it with something maintained.

in-tree or off tree... as you prefer :-)

I removed the entire thing.  zuke is merged into 9front.  Going to
write manpages now as well.
