-People are eager to know how close we are to release, so here's an
-update:
-
-There is one rather annoying bug I'd like to find which is causing
-random crashes. I expect this will not be too hard to locate. There
-are some more trivial bugs, but the release will not be held up for
-them.
-
-Forty-three packages of GNU software have been built native.
-Remaining to be built are three packages for which new releases are
-expected soon.
-
-Also remaining to be built native are bash, gdb, mach, the Hurd
-itself, and the internet utilities and daemons. We intend to sync our
-separate copy of libc source with the libc maintainer, and then build
-it native too.
-
-Because of obnoxious export restrictions, we have still to make
-separate shared libraries for the crypt functions.
-
-Except for the actual final packaging, all the release engineering
-tasks to be done have been completed.
-
-
-To summarize, we still need to:
-
-o Fix one obnoxious bug
-o Compile three packages that are waiting for release;
-o Compile gdb, bash, mach, and hurd native
-o Sync libc source and compile native
-o Deal with crypt shared libraries
-o Final packaging

- Hey! We could also ask some well-known rock-group for one of their
- lyrics, and use that as the theme song for the Hurd release. And then
- we could ask shops to stay open longer to sell the Hurd! Whaddaya think?
- Don't say it has been delayed, just shout so loudly about all the new
- features that nobody cares about the delay?
-
-Perhaps we could get Morrisey to sing the song. He's very good
-looking. Much better looking than that Mick Jagger fellow.
-
-Or something delicate, like Bach's French Suite in G. That would be
-fun.
-
-In any case, here's the state of the release:
-
-o Everything but nine packages has been compiled native.
-o The random crash bug I alluded to is fixed.
-o We have to build a floppy image for part of the installation instructions.
-
-That's it. I bet you nobody in Redmond has ever made a statement like
-that...
