This is a new ebuild providing support for the u9fs program which is usually run from inetd to provide 9P2000 file service from Unix hosts. More information available from http://v9fs.sf.net Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.

I'm uploading a new cleaned-up ebuild for a more recent version of u9fs (2.0.3), and the corresponding xinetd.d sample file. Now that v9fs is in the kernel, I guess this would be a nice thing to have in portage.

(this is an automated message based on filtering criteria that matched this bug) 'EBUILD' is in the KEYWORDS which should mean that there is a ebuild attached to this bug. This bug is assigned to maintainer-wanted which means that it is not in the main tree. Hello, The Gentoo Team would like to firstly thank you for your ebuild submission. We also apologize for not being able to accommodate you in a timely manner. There are simply too many new packages. Allow me to use this opportunity to introduce you to Gentoo Sunrise. The sunrise overlay[1] is a overlay for Gentoo which we allow trusted users to commit to and all users can have ebuilds reviewed by Gentoo devs for entry into the overlay. So, the sunrise team is suggesting that you look into this and submit your ebuild to the overlay where even *you* can commit to. =) Because this is a mass message, we are also asking you to be patient with us. We anticipate a large number of requests in a short time. Thanks, On behalf of the Gentoo Sunrise Team, Jeremy.

There hasn't been any upstream development on this since August of 2005. u9fs is long dead and buried. Its been superseded by <a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/npfs">npfs</a> which includes spfs, which has the functionality of u9fs. Although spfs itself hasn't had a release since Aug 28 2007, the sourceforge SVN commits do show activity as of Dec 9, 2008. In the meantime, I think this bug can be closed. A new one can be opened for npfs if someone wants to. After 3 1/2 years my interests have moved to other things.
I have an up to date version in my overlay: https://cgit.gentoo.org/user/emery.git/tree/net-fs/u9fs U9fs can be used with systemD, which is how I use it on NixOS, but I don't have any Gentoo systemD boxen to test on. https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/nixos/modules/services/network-filesystems/u9fs.nix I consider u9fs to be done, not unmantained.
