IPFS

This issue is tracking Plan 9 support in IPFS: https://github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs/issues/7575

Build

To build IPFS, you need Go 1.15 (it comes with some fixes for Plan 9's net package). Eventually, you'll be able go get github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs/cmd/ipfs once the Plan 9 changes are merged upstream, but for now you can use the following private branch:

git clone -b plan9-nobadger https://github.com/fhs/go-ipfs.git
cd go-ipfs/cmd/ipfs
GOOS=plan9 go build

copy ipfs binary into harvey so you can run it.
