+* (./) 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)
+
+* (./) 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.

+
+* **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
 
 * **d-i/installer/build**: (expected 2010-06-28)
     * 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
