-## Hurd Debian-Installer
-
-My [proposal](http://wiki.debian.org/SummerOfCode2010/HurdDebianInstaller/JeremieKoenig)
-to work on porting d-i on Hurd
-as a [Google Summer of Code](http://code.google.com/soc/) student
-has been accepted by the Debian project.
-
-I will be keeping track of my progress on this page.

-### Roadmap
-
-* **mach**: initrd support
-    * (./) preliminary patch posted and self-built (2010-06-12)
-    * adjustments will be needed (postponed)
-    * consider the alternatives discussed on bug-hurd (postponed)
-
-* **glibc**: fix `mkdir("/")` which returned `EINVAL`
-    * (./) eglibc 2.11.2-1 includes a quick fix by youpi (2010-06-15)
-    * (./) more complete patch posted to bug-hurd,
-      since other calls return incorrect errors under some circumstances
-      (2010-06-16)
-    * more work on it will be needed to make it fix the whole thing
-      (postponed)
-
-* (./) **partman** (2010-06-23)
-    * (./) add hurd-i386 to
-      `partman-partitioning/lib/disk-label.sh`
-      (2010-06-16, commited by youpi on 2010-06-23)
-    * (./) short-circuit
-      `partman-basicfilesystems/init.d/kernelmodules_basicfilesystems`
-      (2010-06-16)
-    * (./) partman-auto recipes:
-      make the default filesystem os-dependent
-      when it has not been preseeded (ie. the *seen* flag is clear)
-    * (./) force 4k blocks and 128 bytes inodes
-    * (./) submit patches to bugs.debian.org
-      ([[!debbug 586870]] and [[!debbug 586871]])
-    * (./) rebuild with responsible version numbers and upload to my repository
-
-* (./) **libparted** (2010-06-23)
-    * (./) fix device paths ([[!debbug 586696]])
-    * (./) fix crash on exit for part:* stores ([[!debbug 586682]])
-
-* **hurd-udeb** (2010-06-23)
-    * (./) rebuild with the hack suggested by youpi for qemu network configuration
-    * (./) fix mount to accept `-o defaults`
-    * cleanup, ask youpi to commit
-
-* reloading the partition table (2010-06-25)
-    * User-space part stores
-        * (./) hurd-udeb now uses `part:N:device:X` for partition devices
-          (2010-06-23)
-        * (./) it also provides /lib/partman/commit.d/??hurd\_reloadpart,
-          which basically does `settrans -ag /dev/[hs]d*`.
-          (2010-06-24)
-    * Kernel-based partition devices
-        * (./) Mach's drivers from Linux support reloading partitions.
-          With help from youpi this has been made available through a
-          device\_set\_status() call.
-        * (./) make libparted use it
-        * Reminder:
-          I should file a bug against libparted with the patch sometime.
-
-* (./) The `/servers/exec` issue (2010-06-26)
-    * Due to /servers being inexistant,
-      the bootstrap ext2fs could not register the initial exec server,
-      meaning that non-bootstrap filesystems used a different one
-      (started from the passive translator),
-      which for some reason died on shell scripts, making them stall.
-    * Adding the `/servers` directory to hurd-udeb fixed it,
-      as well as the /hurd/proc issue
-      (failed to be run by init the first time around).
-    * Reminder: report the non-bootstrap exec servers failure on scripts.
-
-* (./) **base-installer**: (2010-06-26)
-    * Work around non-existant /proc/mounts.
-    * Firmlink /servers into /target after debootstrap
-      to make the network available.
-
-* (./) **grub-installer**
-    * (./) add hurd support (2010-06-27)
-    * /!\ grub-legacy still needs to be tested
-    * submit changes as a Debian bug
-
-**Milestone (2010-06-28):
-installer kindof works, with documented manual intervention required**
-
-* (./) Sort out the situation with dev node creation (2010-07-07):
-    * Devices and servers used to be set up by debootstrap;
-      the hurd package would add some missing nodes.
-    * New strategy implemented in hurd and debootstrap:
-        * debootstrap uses active firmlinks into the host system
-          for the target system's /dev and /servers.
-        * the hurd package now include a `setup-translators` script,
-          which is used to register the passive translators by the installer's
-          `/libexec/runsystem` and hurd's postinst script.
-
-* **busybox**: submit upstream and to [[!debbug 323670]]
-  (waiting for upstream to review)
-    * (./) I have mentioned my work on the upstream mailing list,
-    * (./) merge the recent changes from upstream,
-      notably to the build system.
-      (2010-06-23)
-    * (./) ask upstream for review and merge
-      (2010-06-25)
-    * (./) sent as patches as requested
-      (2010-07-08)
-    * (./) backport any additional changes onto the debian branch
-    * (./) hijack [[!debbug 323670]] and submit my patches
-
-* **aptitude**:
-    * Currently broken on hurd-i386:
-      [[!debpkg gtest]] fails to build because of a segfault in one of the test
-      cases, [[!debpkg google-mock]] and hence [[!debpkg aptitude]] are missing
-      it as a build-dep.
-      The older package is not installable anymore because it's linked against
-      an older version of libept, which has been removed.
-    * (./) I bypassed the tests and uploaded the 3 packages to my repository
-      (2010-07-08)
-    * The segfault will have to be sorted out. (postponed)
-
-* (./) "Fix" the swap situation. (2010-07-08)
-    * The device\_close() libstore patch
-      had the unfortunate effect of making swapon fail,
-      since the device it activates has to be kept open.
-    * add options for MAKEDEV and setup-devices
-      to use the libparted stores
-    * disable youpi's patch
-    * make partman-basicfilesystems re-create the device
-      as a kernel partition, which is needed for swapon
-
-* (./) netcfg-static: port to hurd (2010-07-09)
-    * There was some amount of hurd support already
-      (namely, activating the interface by replacing the socket translator)
-    * However, this code started an active translator with
-      di\_exec\_shell\_log("settrans -a ...),
-      which stalled as a consequence of it capturing libdi's pipe
-      as its standard output.
-    * Network devices must be probed by trying to open Mach devices
-      with predetermined names (currently eth%d, wl%d),
-      because getifaddrs() does not seem to work on Hurd.
-    * /!\ netcfg, and configuring the installed system, postponed.
-
-* **procps** 3.2.7-11 (current hurd-i386 version) has [[!debbug 546888]]
-    * (./) Submit [[!debbug 588677]] and upload the result to my repository.
-      (2010-07-11)
-
-* (./) Set up a Debian mirror with modified packages for installation
-    * the [mirror](http://jk.fr.eu.org/debian/hurd-install/mirror)
-      is now up and running (2010-07-06)
-    * hacked the image build script to include its public key in
-      debian-archive-keyring at image build time (2010-07-08)
-    * Apparently debootstrap does not handle multiple versions very well.
-      Fix by using dpkg-scan{package,sources} rather than apt-ftparchive
-      to create index files.
-      (2010-07-10)
-    * Use the override files from ftp.debian.org,
-      to avoid debootstrap grabbing inappropriate packages.
-    * Changed them to make [[!debpkg ifupdown]],
-      [[!debpkg dhcp3-client]] and [[!debpkg dhcp3-client]] priority extra,
-      because they're uninstallable at the moment.
-      (2010-07-12)
-
-* (./) Put together a "jk-archive-keyring" package,
-  so that the mirror is authenticated in the target system as well.
-  (2010-07-12)
-
-* (./) Fix grub for user-space partitions (2010-07-16)
-    * grub-probe detects the whole device rather than the partition
-      as the device behind /boot/grub.
-      Consequently, grub-install fails.
-    * One approach would be to replace /dev/hd* by kernel devices
-      for file systems as well as for swap partitions.
-      > {X} this makes the installer crash,
-      > possibly due to cache coherency issue between hdX and hdXsY.
-
-    * (./) GRUB2 kern/emu/getroot.c
-      [patched](http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2010-07/msg00059.html)
-      to support part stores.
-
-* (./) Fix finish-install to skip `finish-install.d/90console` on Hurd
-  (2010-07-17)
-
-* (./) Avoid starting unnecessary /dev translators in a burst (2010-07-20)
-  * Use debootstrap use the extracted /usr/lib/hurd/setup-translators
-    to create device and server nodes in /target,
-    then firmlink the whole /target/dev and /target/servers
-    to the outer system.
-  * Make hurd.postinst not touch them on initial install.
-
-* (./) Fix mach-defpager for file and part stores on larger devices
-  * Use DEVICE\_GET\_RECORDS instead of DEVICE\_GET\_SIZE, which overflows an int
-    (2010-07-22)
-
-**Milestone (2010-07-22):
-installer works but it's still somewhat ugly and broken**
-
-* (./) Ship the UTF-8 font for the hurd console
-  (2010-07-22)
-  * Upload a version of bogl with youpi's patch for Hurd.
-    (see [[!debbug 589987]])
-  * Fix the hurd console for fonts with 16 pixels wide glyphs
-    (ie. handle the 8-wide glyph in there correclty)
-  * Support double-width glyphs (2010-07-24)
-  * (./) However the reduced font can't be loaded yet,
-    so make installer/build/Makefile
-    ship the whole `/usr/src/unifont.bgf`
-    as `/usr/share/hurd/vga-system.bgf`.
-
-* (./) Make the installer used the extended capabilities of the Hurd console
-  (2010-07-23)
-  * Set an UTF-8 locale in `/lib/debian-installer.d/S41term-hurd`.
-  * localechooser: set the language display level to 3
-    when using the hurd console.
-
-* (./) **busybox**: cross-platform package uploaded to experimental
-  (2010-08-03?)
-  * Aurelien Jarno updated the packaging to busybox 1.17.1,
-    fixed a whole lot of bugs,
-    and uploaded a new package with both our changes;
-  * most patches adopted upstream, and included in the new package;
-  * (u)mount/swaponoff ported to kFreeBSD;
-  * per-OS configuration overrides.
-
-* (./) Update custom packages to the latest versions
-  and send updated patches to the BTS
-  (2010-08-11)
-    * updated partman-base to choose a default filesystem in debian/rules
-      rather than at runtime,
-      as suggested by Aurelien Jarno in [[!debbug 586870]]
-    * patch submitted for debian-installer-utils
-      ([[!debbug 592684]]).
-    * patch submitted for locale-chooser
-      ([[!debbug 592690]]).
-    * debootstrap, grub-installer and finish-install not yet submitted,
-      since the details may still change.
-
-* (./) **partman-target**: fix fstab creation
-  (2010-08-11)
-  * See [[!debbug 592671]]
-  * debian/rules: set `partman/mount_style` to `traditional` on Hurd.
-  * finish.d/create\_fstab\_header: add a Hurd case.
-
-* (./) **rootskel**: FTBFS on Hurd and other quirks
-  (to be fixed very soon)
-
-* **d-i/installer/build**: (expected soon)
-    * publish the patch I use
-    * sort out the changes suitable for inclusion
-      and ask youpi and/or debian-boot@l.d.o to commit them
-
-* call for testing and fix the bugs
-
-* Bug in setup-translators/MAKEDEV:
-  permissions are broken for nodes re-created through `MAKEDEV -k`,
-  because MAKEDEV's chmod/chown reaches the pre-existing translator
-    * Maybe settrans could be made to accept -o/--owner and
-      -p/--perm, to set the permissions for the underlying node?
-
-* (./) Silence the "no kernel" warning somehow.
-
-* Investigate the wget/libc/pfinet/whatever bug which corrupts Packages.gz,
-  see the IRC log for 2010-07-23, around 1am UTC+0200 
-
-* Try to resolve problems with udebs which are uninstallable on hurd-i386,
-  such as installation-locale and partman-whatever.
-
-* Provide `/proc/cmdline -> 2/cmdline`, or something.
-
-* Prepare a NMU for genext2fs (which is orphaned),
-  and ask youpi to sponsor the upload.
-
-* **busybox**: port 
-    * fix stty/stat/ipcs on kFreeBSD,
-    * generally port more stuff,
-    * *ip* is needed (maybe) for network configuration,
-    * *mount*, *swaponoff* can be from hurd-udeb for now,
-      though the kFreeBSD people will need them
-
-* **partman**: further adjustments
-    * partman-base: handle /dev/hd?s* in lib/base.h
-    * hide irrelevant mount options? (sync, relatime)
-
-* Network configuration on the installed system.
-  This includes porting ifupdown and isc-dhcp-client,
-  which are currently uninstallable on hurd-i386.
-* Also, better DHCP support during and after installation
-
-* improve the [initrd situation](FIXME: link to bug-hurd post):
-  ajust the ramdisk support in Mach,
-  use tmpfs if possible.
-
-* mklibs{,-copy}:
-  test library reduction,
-  make it copy the ld.so -> ld.so.1 symlink.
-
-* (./) hurd console fonts
-
-**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
-* integrate wireless drivers with netcfg
-* see how [[zhengda]]'s work on DDE could be integrated
-* etc..
-
-### Mostly done
-
-#### Week 1 (2010-05-24)
-
-* genext2fs: patches submitted, [[!debbug 562999]]
-  which add support for all block sizes and choosing them at runtime.
-* busybox: started porting the upstream and Debian package to Hurd and FreeBSD
-* rebuilding hurd-udeb from the pkg-hurd version
-  and adding a ld.so link to the initrd
-  fixes the exec translator crashing on startup.
-  (BTW would there be a mean to detect this from the libdiskfs bootstrap code
-  and report it ?)
-
-#### Week 2 (2010-05-31 to 2010-06-06)
-
-* *busybox*: patches [posted](http://lists.debian.org/debian-bsd/2010/05/msg00048.html).
-* *libdebian-installer4*: [[!debbug 584538]]
-* started working on mach initrd support
-* the installation images could boot into the main-menu
-  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.
-      * feed the initrd as a hard drive in qemu
-        (with some more space added to avoid it from becoming full)
-
