starting in the late 1980s. The system can be obtained from Bell
Labs at http://plan9.bell-labs.com/plan9 and runs on PCs and a
variety of other platforms. Plan 9 became a convenient platform for
experimenting with new ideas, applications, and services.
Plan 9 from User Space provides many of the ideas, applications,
and services from Plan 9 on Unix-like systems. It runs on FreeBSD
(x86), Linux (x86 and PowerPC), Mac OS X (PowerPC), OpenBSD (x86),
and SunOS (Sparc).

Drawterm is a program that users of non-Plan 9 systems can use to
establish graphical cpu connections with Plan 9 cpu servers. Just as
a real Plan 9 terminal does, drawterm serves its local name space as
well as some devices (the keyboard, mouse, and screen) to a remote cpu
server, which mounts this name space on /mnt/term and starts a shell.
Typically, either explicitly or via the profile, one uses the shell to
start rio.

U9fs is a program that serves Unix files to Plan 9 machines using the 9P
protocol. Its standard input and output are connected to a network
connection, typically TCP on an Ethernet. It assumes Plan 9 uids match
Unix login names, and changes to the corresponding Unix effective uid
when processing requests. Characters in file and directory names
unacceptable to Plan 9 are translated into a three-character sequence:
followed by two hexadecimal digits. U9fs serves both 9P1 (the 9P
protocol as used by the second and third editions of Plan 9) and 9P2000.

breaking cd /usr/ports && SUBDIR=some/path make something for
category makefiles. While there, also put spaces around += uniformously.
okay naddy@, jasper@
packing-lists was changes in significant ways, and they do not have
enough dependencies that pkg_add can detect they changed through their
signature.
Bump the pkgname, so that pkg_add -r will choose to update them.
