There is a repository for maintenance of [[/glibc]] for the Hurd's needs:
-<http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/hurd/glibc.git/>.
+<http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/hurd/glibc.git/>. It's mainly used for
+testing glibc's master branch, but with all the patches that we need on top of
+it, and also for development and sharing of (Hurd-specific) glibc patches.
This repository uses [[TopGit]].

+# Relation to Debian glibc
+
+For a lot of topic branches there is a correspondence to a Debian glibc patch,
+and vice-versa, which is also indicated by the Debian glibc patch files' names.
+
+Debian glibc is based on EGLIBC 2.13 and the Savannah hurd/glibc.git one is
+tracking sourceware master.
+
+The Savannah hurd/glibc.git one does not/not yet include
+[[libpthread|open_issues/libpthread]], [[open_issue/packaging_libpthread]].
