 ### Latest news
 
-  * *busybox*:
-    patches [posted](http://lists.debian.org/debian-bsd/2010/05/msg00048.html).
-    I need to test them on kFreeBSD,
-    then submit them upstream and to #323670.
-  * installation images boot with the following changes:
-      * rebuild hurd-udeb from with the latest pkg-hurd patches
-      * use busybox from my osports-debian branch (see link above)
-      * tweak the d-i image build scripts
-      * the symlink /lib/ld.so -> ld.so.1 needs to be created somehow
-        (youpi mentionned it being the job of libc0.3-udeb I think)
-      * fix the poll() issue in libdebian-installer
-        (patch to be submitted soon),
-        also there is some hurd doxygen short-circuiting stuff
-        there which does not apply any more and prevents is to build.
-      * initrd support coming soon (BTW gnumach does not like gcc-4.4),
-        for the time being it needs to be fed to qemu as a hard drive
-        (with some more space added to avoid it from becoming full)
+  * current status:
+    [busybox](http://lists.debian.org/debian-bsd/2010/05/msg00048.html),
+    [genext2fs](http://bugs.debian.org/562999),
+    [libdebian-installer](http://bugs.debian.org/584538) and
+    [gnumach initrd](http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2010-06/msg00047.html)
+    have been worked on;
+  * [modified packages](http://jk.fr.eu.org/debian/unstable) and
+    [images](http://jk.fr.eu.org/debian/hurd-installer) published.
 
 ### Roadmap
 
-#### Week 2 (2010-05-31 to 2010-06-06)
-
+* busybox: fix `mkdir -p` on Hurd
 * see what breaks in the installer and fix the problems one by one
-  (install-time netcfg, cdrom detection, whatever)
-* start working on mach initrd support
+* busybox: submit upstream and to #323670,
+  fix stty/stat/ipcs on kFreeBSD,
+  generally port more stuff,
+  notably (u)mount/swaponoff.
 
-#### Week 3 (2010-06-07..13)
+*Milestone (expected 2010-06-21):
+installer kindof works, with documented manual intervention required*
 
-* try to get the busybox changes merged upstream
-  and integrated into the debian package
 * tweak the hurd debian package to handle
   what native-install used to be required for

-#### Week 4 (2010-06-14..20)
-
+  [apparently there's already some relevant stuff done in the postinst,
+  it might just work though maybe something is missing,
+  or some special code would be needed in the installer
+  to enable say, /servers/socket/local before anything
+  is attempted in the chroot]
+* netcfg: make it work on Hurd somehow (port `busybox ip`?)
 * Hurd-specific partitionning (use supported fs types and options).
   NB: we will need support in mach to reload the partition tables,
   or alternatively use the parted support in libstore somehow.
 * grub2 installation
 
-#### Week 5-6 (2010-06-21..07-04)
-
-* unexpected stuff
-* cleanup
-* call for testing
-* fix bugs
-
-At this point we would have a basic but working installer.
-Hopefully the summer would not be over yet...
-
-#### Week 7-8 (2010-07-05..18)
-
-* hurd console
+*Milestone (expected 2010-07-05):
+installer works but it's still somewhat ugly and broken*
+
+* call for testing and fix the bugs
+* improve the [initrd situation](FIXME: link to bug-hurd post):
+  ajust the ramdisk support in Mach,
+  use tmpfs if possible,
+  possibly add `module -nounzip` to grub2.
+* mklibs{,-copy}:
+  test library reduction,
+  make it copy the ld.so -> ld.so.1 symlink.
+* hurd console fonts
 * better DHCP support during and after installation
-* support more types of installation images
-
-#### Week 9-10 (2010-07-19..08-01)
-
-* give a shot at the graphical installer ?
 
-#### Week 11-12 (2010-08-02..15)
+*Milestone (expected 2010-07-19):
+it works great and it's beautiful*
 
 * test, fix, document
-
+* support more types of installation images
+* give a shot at the graphical installer if time permits
+* see how [[zhengda]]'s work on DDE could be integrated
+* etc..
