STUCK
-
upas/fs
modified
to
leave
mail
messages
on
remote
media
rather
than
loading
them
into
RAM;
see
p9p's
upas/fs.
-
Making
the
fmt
library
more
portable
by
safer
use
of
varargs
and
adding
%'d
and
%4$d
POSIX
extensions
for
internationalization.

TinyGL.
A
very
light
implementation
of
a
subset
of
the
OpenGL
graphics
library.
Already
ported
to
several
non-X
windowing
environments
--
mirtchov@cpsc,
stalled,
better
shoot
for
the
real
thing
and
port
MesaGL.
This
has
also
stalled
for
a
year
--
the
software
rendering
compiles
with
ape/pcc,
but
the
driver
for
draw()
is
half-done.
-
Coreboot
Mods
needed
to
get
Plan9
to
load
directly
from
flash
(no
9load)
via
Coreboot.
Also
see
if
I
can
get
POST
codes
into
the
startup
code
--
makes
debugging
new
platforms
tons
easier.
No
impact
once
the
node
is
up.

(both
UFS1
and
UFS2)

802.1x
supplicant.
in
progress,
/n/sources/contrib/axel/8021x
.
Only
supports
ttls-pap.
I
can
now
also
test
peap
here;
no
clue
yet
whether
it
is
worth
to
add
support
for
it.

DFS
layer
to
go
on
top
of
aux/cifs
-
currently
a
working
DFS
client
has
been
bodged
into

the
separate

will
grow
from
this

Broadcom
BCM5751M
Gigabit

George
Gensure
was
working
on
this,
see
9fans
passim.
Overview
-
Centrino
wifi
driver,
mostly
written,
needs
to
be
finished,
see
/n/sources/contrib/rsc/ipw2200
WISH LIST
-
x86
emulator
to
run
the
VESA
BIOS
on
PCs,
basic
emulator
already
exists
in
/n/sources/contrib/rsc/8i.
See
x86emu.
-
Implement
some
form
of
compression
in
devssl
and
devtls
and
make
drawterm
use
it.
-
tiff(1)
in
a
similar
vein
to
jpg(1),
png(1)
etc.
Andrey
has
already
ported
libtiff
see
/n/sources/contrig/andrey/libtiff.tgz
which
should
help.
-
webdavfs
-
for
MS
Exchange
-
replica/pull
to
have
a
-m
(3
way
merge)
option
-
A
basic
http/ftp
proxy
-
maybe
cache/regex
advert
stripping
too.
-
A
new
option
to
the
fossil
console
snap
command,
allowing
an
already
ingested
vac
score
to
be
inserted
into
the
/archive
tree.
-
Linux
binary
emulator
linuxemu
in
theory,
linuxemu
ld-linux.so.1
bin/a.dynamic
is
supposed
to
work,
but
unfortunately
ld-linux.so.1
wants
to
be
loaded
where
the
linuxemu
text
segment
is.
you'd
need
to
move
the
linuxemu
text
segment
somewhere
else
and
then
segdetach
it
before
calling
elfload.
it's
entirely
doable,
especially
since
x86
code
is
position
independent.
...
The
libraries
have
changed
since
I
did
the
initial
work
...
looks
like
there
are
new
system
calls
to
implement!

Fine-tuned
mouse
control
(plenty
of
mice
have
more
than
three
buttons
and
it
would
be
nice
to
see
Plan
9
be
able
to
remap
the
buttons
as
desired).
For
example,
I
might
want
to
have
physical
button
#5
interpreted
as
someone
pressing
logical
button
#1.
