Git repository of Plan 9 History, from 1992 to 2015
- forgotpwd16 5y agoWill this be a development repo or will remain only as historical record? Also what was the initial version control system used?
- recursivedoubts 5y agofirst commit: https://github.com/plan9foundation/plan9/commit/3e12c5d1bb89fc02707907988834ef147769ddaf https://github.com/plan9foundation/plan9/commit/3e12c5d1bb89... love the second line comment: #stolen from pcc good developers copy, great developers steal
- caslon 5y agoObligatory: If you're wanting to see an active fork of Plan 9, check out 9front. https://code.9front.org/hg/plan9front https://code.9front.org/hg/plan9front
- twobitshifter 5y agoWho’s going to be first to submit a pull request?

- 0intro 5y agoBrantley Coile noticed the Plan 9 trademark expired and bought it on November 25, 2020. It was before the transfer of the Plan 9 copyrights to the Plan 9 Foundation (March 23, 2021).

- yjftsjthsd-h 5y agoThe real shock is that there is only one :)
- mouldysammich 5y agothe real testament to its simplicity

- the-dude 5y agoSo Github was one of the unicorn SaaS'es and it is freakin' 2021 and we can't browse commits by date? Have a calendar view maybe?
- throwaway823882 5y agoYou are viewing them by date: newest to oldest. Possibly as an artifact of Git's architecture. But more likely because it would be slightly annoying to implement differently, and nobody wanted to do the extra work just to make the user's life easier. Pandora's been around for 16 years and they only just added a sort button to My Collections. You still can't search your collections.
- the-dude 5y agoThat is slightly pedantic, but yes, the commits are sorted by date. But the pagination just paginates on volume, not date.
- DaiPlusPlus 5y agoPagination-by-grouping-criteria is a holy-grail for so many. It’s not easy to implement, but your users will thank you. Especially if hovering-over the page number button immediately displays the range of data in that page. GitHub needs it. Web forums need it. Every CRM’s obligatory giant table of customers sorted by name needs it.
- the-dude 5y agoAlthough I don't disagree, we are discussing this on a site with the worst pagination ever.
- koolba 5y agoCommits don’t have to be in date order. The date (technically dates, plural) is an attribute of the commit. Try it yourself by committing and then rebasing the commits into a different order. Or directly edit the metadata by specifying explicit values for the commit and author time stamps.
- sdfhbdf 5y agoSo for those of you also oblivious to what Plan 9 is since the repo readme seems to make no mention of that. It’s a distributed operating system, developed by Bell, as a replacement for Unix, as per Wikipedia [0] [0]: https://simple.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plan_9_from_Bell_Labs https://simple.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plan_9_from_Bell_Labs Edit: It might be also important and relevant as fao kindly pointed out to mention that it's "developed by the original authors of UNIX"
- fao_ 5y agoNot just "developed by Bell", but developed by the original authors of UNIX. Everything gets an overhaul. Dennis Richie and Pike clean up C -- hell, even make(1) gets a complete makeover in mk(1), after 30 years of talking with users and having to use it. From the perspective of software development, UNIX is the "build one to throw away" version. Plan9 is UNIX on steroids.
- ahoka 5y agoI think it's more like "Second system effect."
- the-dude 5y agoBoth terms are from The Mythical Man Month. Are you saying Plan 9 is over-engineered and bloated? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mythical_Man-Month https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mythical_Man-Month https://herbertograca.com/2018/11/19/11-plan-to-throw-one-away/ https://herbertograca.com/2018/11/19/11-plan-to-throw-one-aw... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second-system_effect https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second-system_effect
- ObscureScience 5y agoI don't think Plan9 "failed" because of any technical reason, such at failing to realizing over ambitious goals. It was a research project which worked out very well from what I can see.

- hexo 5y agoI'd suggest to look at 9front which is a Plan 9 not-a-fork at http://9fs.net/ http://9fs.net/ Actively developed/maintained Plan 9 based OS. If anyone really uses it, please tell us about it. I'd be really happy to hear!
- all2 5y agoIf I could run spacemacs on 9front, I'd be willing to try it as a daily driver.
- SoiGubz 5y agoIt's finally becoming possible to run Plan9 as a full modern desktop. With the recent Chinese / Subcontinental penetration of Linux, finding other secure alternatives is more important than ever.
- roperzh 5y agoI was super interested in the commit messages, does anyone know what happened to them?
- eigenvalue 5y agoI wonder what the Book of Ruth is doing in here: https://github.com/plan9foundation/plan9/commit/3e12c5d1bb89fc02707907988834ef147769ddaf#diff-6c55ab169ee1d7cf24af08c3b8356e5e30bae5ef563739225da6e0bc85d473ac https://github.com/plan9foundation/plan9/commit/3e12c5d1bb89... Edit: I guess it's the entire bible. Must have been sample text.
