- Recent developments in the Hurd
-
-
- This talk will go through the nice developments in the GNU Hurd that have been
- done over the past few years. This will include work on the text console, on
- network virtualization, on automatic translator startup, and on general
- support improvements on languages,
- bugfixes, etc. I will notably explain how we now run Linux network drivers in
- a userland process, how a user can run his own TCP/IP stack and make only some
- applications use it.
-
-
-
- - Console keyboard configuration through libxkb
- - Console double-width support: chinese in text mode!
-
- - netdde: linux 2.6.32 drivers in a userland process
- - -> /dev/eth0
- - remap translator
- - user-started pfinet
- - eth-filter
-
- - list of nice translators
- - nsmux, unionmount
- - netio/socketio
- - tarfs, cvsfs, xmlfs, mboxfs
- - httpfs, ftpfs, gopherfs
- - run
- - libfuse
-
- - real-life ext2fs/e2fsck debugging (see 2012-q1-q2)
-
- - GCJ, GNAT, go ongoing
- - fixed a lot of testsuite failures in perl & python, mostly around the 99% figure nowadays
- - about stability: buildd daemons usually manage 5-10 days of compiling packages, essentially until hitting a package that uses a lot of memory and makes the box go OOM. I don't even remember when I last reinstalled a buildd. half a dozen years ago probably.
- - translators now using pthreads
-
- - Xen port: had to modify GNU Mach only
- - small AHCI driver, which btw supports disks above 128GiB, up to 2TiB
- - towards 64bitness. Mach boots, 32/64 RPC translation pending
-
- - we've had a nice 0.401 release on April 2011
- - Debian native installation
- Last but not least, the Debian GNU/Hurd porter team has released a snapshot of
- Debian GNU/Hurd at the same time as the Wheezy release, with a bit more than
- 75% of the Debian packages!
-
- - contribute! There's a "small hacks" list on the contributing page.
-
- + the vision (why it matters), future directions, and important milestones coming up.
