(19:11:15) mjl-: from plumbing(6), "data isfile     /module/$1"
(19:11:23) mjl-: what would "data" do there?
(19:11:29) mjl-: $1 is from the earlier regex
(19:11:55) mjl-: "isfile /module/$1" looks enough to me
(19:12:09) mjl-: or "data isfile"

(23:15:38) mjl-: first message plumbed
(23:16:54) mjl-: the command to execute is just a shell script, which gets the regexp matches as parameter
(23:17:34) mjl-: more tomorrow

(05:10:46) anothy_x: the plumber was written for inferno first. the plan9 version got more of the kinks worked out, but it never got backported.

(10:43:19) mjl-: anothy_x: ah, interesting!
(10:43:22) mjl-: didn't know that
(11:27:10) mjl-: about the plan 9 plumber.  it has always seemed a bit overdone to make it possible to write new rules to one of its file while it is running
(11:41:53) eekee: erm
(11:43:26) eekee: mjl-: you mean it seems a bit overdone to be able to reconfigure it while it's running?
(11:48:27) mjl-: not necessarily that
(11:48:40) mjl-: but that it has a file on which it accepts writes
(11:48:47) mjl-: and that is parses that
(11:49:06) mjl-: instead of just having a ctl file with a "refresh" command that reads $home/lib/plumbing
(11:49:52) eekee: ah I gotcha
(11:50:29) eekee: watching the files it loaded at startup would be smoother
(11:50:53) eekee: but then some means of adding and removing files from its watchlist might be nice
(11:50:56) mjl-: especially since i don't know how it would implement the current scheme properly.  i should test of course.  the problem would be when to start parsing the written text.  it propably gathers writes first, then starts parsing on eof.  but that leaves you without a way to signal back errors (cannot make the writes fail)
(11:51:10) mjl-: neh, no automatic reloading for me please
(11:51:12) eekee: hmm
(11:51:19) eekee: o ok
(11:51:38) mjl-: doesn't the plan 9 plumber have an include statement or something?
(11:51:49) eekee: can't remember
(11:53:57) eekee: actually running mac os x on an ibook with barely enough memory to run a web browser right now. also need to get heatsink compound before I think about compiling p9p :)
(11:58:27) mjl-: heh
(11:58:34) mjl-: how much memory is that?
(11:58:35) mjl-: 256mb?
(11:58:44) mjl-: here the browser is always cpu bound
(11:58:45) eekee: hmm. I'm going to miss having a qemu-powered plan 9 cpu server running all the time
(11:58:52) eekee: 384MB
(11:59:12) eekee: it's mostly large images and lots of images that make the problem
(11:59:33) eekee: Preview chugs on large images too
(12:05:39) mjl-: true
(12:05:50) mjl-: it's not a whole lot of memory nowadays
(12:07:24) eekee: aye, somehow
