It is not maintained. /!\ We will probably replace most of DDE with [[hurd/rump]]. While we still have dde, you can use the those drivers in GNU/Hurd userspace.

In the DDE case, this *other environment* is a user-space task -- compared to the GNU Mach kernel having a *in-kernel* Linux 2.0 device drivers glue code (cf. paper by Goel et al.). # Source Code *
