The original intention was to put devskel in to the
kernel to detach what it provides from devsrv.
That is not a good reason, just move it to userspace.
auth/box has been changed to exec skelfs instead
of relying on '#z'.
SSL is implemented by devssl. It's extremely
obsolete by now, and is not used anywhere but
cpu, import, and oexportfs.
This change strips out the devssl bits, but
does not (yet) remove the code from libsec.
Plumber both posts a service to /srv and sets a $plumbsrv environment
variable. Our libplumb no longer uses $plumbsrv and nothing else
does. It's a silly hack; rc doesn't update /env immediately, and
scripts, which for instance set up subrios, cannot rely on it to
clean up the plumber at the end.
Instead, add the option to specify a srvname, actually check for some
common errors and print a usage string.
Thanks to Ori for input and a preliminary patch.
remove old /sys/src/games/nes/joynes in favor of joy(1).
joy(1) has more buttons for the other emulators; there is
no longer a significance in the order of the keys.
document nusb/joy, add information in each emulator manpage.
exportfs -d logs 9p traffic to /tmp/exportdb.
-f allows writing to a different file.
exportfs silently continues if it doesn't have
permissions to create or write to /tmp/exportdb.
These are poor behaviors.
A better default is to write to stderr, since it
is 9P debug info that is better immediately printed,
and not user info that is better handled by syslog().
As a result, -f is obsolete and thus removed.
Redirect responsibility is now on rc.
As a side effect, rc will fail if it doesn't
have permissions to write.
exportfs(4) is updated to reflect all changes
and with a better Synopsis.
oexportfs is changed to match exportfs.
oexportfs(4) is updated to reflect all changes.
The Synopsis is not changed due to the number of flags.
Removed -f from iostats.
iostats(4) is updated to reflect all changes.

Since we now store /dist/plan9front in git, the
initial assumption that the owner of the repo
is the person touching it is not always true.
This change gives us a better heuristic for the
file permissions we should have in the files we
copy around, basing it off of the permissions of
the .git directory.
The initial protocol handling in exportfs for
cpu and import services is a huge mess.
Saparate the code out into its own program with
its own oexportfs(4) manpage.
The new command marks the target window as a scratch window -- a window
whose state cannot be "dirtied" by changes made to its body, therefore
avoiding warnings about unsaved changes when deleting the window or
exiting acme.
Existing examples of scratch windows are error, directory, and guide
windows, whose scratchness is set internally.
With the new command users and programs alike can create their own
scratch windows. This is put to use in acme's own win(1).
with the -s flag, we should read 9P messages from
standard *INPUT* (fd 0) and write responses to
standard *OUTPUT* (fd 1).
before these servers where reading from fd 1,
assuming they where both the same files.
