-The `runit` package doesn't work, even its test suite doesn't finish.
+In March of 2025, João got the Hurd to use
+[[runit instead of sysvinit|https://lists.debian.org/debian-hurd/2025/03/msg00023.html]].
+He has so far been unsuccessful to start the [[hurd-console|hurd/console]].  
 
-[[Thomas_Schwinge|tschwinge]] once was having a look at that, but this very
-report is just from his memory, and his memory is dim...  The problem *might*
-either be a time stamping issue (which might be fixed by now) or it *might* be
-the `select` call failing issue we're seeing from time to time.  Or something
-else.

-Usual issue with rpctrace: it does not support fork().
-
-    I've checked a backtrace in gdb, got this:
-    
-     0x0105af6c in mach_msg_trap ()
-       at /build/eglibc-jWVnRE/eglibc-2.13/build-tree/hurd-i386-libc/mach/mach_msg_trap.S:2
-    1  0x0105b769 in __mach_msg (msg=0x1024af8, option=258, send_size=0, rcv_size=40, rcv_name=140,
-       timeout=1000020, notify=0) at msg.c:110
-    2  0x01062251 in _hurd_select (nfds=2, pollfds=0x1024dc0, readfds=0x0, writefds=0x0, exceptfds=0x0,
-       timeout=0x1024bbc, sigmask=0x0) at hurdselect.c:324
-    3  0x0114427b in __poll (fds=0x1024dc0, nfds=2, timeout=1000020) at ../sysdeps/mach/hurd/poll.c:48
-    4  0x0804b770 in iopause (x=0x1024dc0, len=2, deadline=0x1024dd8, stamp=0x1024de8) at iopause.c:29
-    5  0x08048efc in main (argc=2, argv=0x1024e94) at runsv.c:543
-    
-    and main() shows up as:
-    
-       sig_unblock(sig_term);
-       sig_unblock(sig_child);
-     ->  iopause(x, 2 +haslog, &deadline, &now);
-       sig_block(sig_term);
-       sig_block(sig_child);
-
-So it simply looks like the known "signals don't interrupt select" bug.
+The Hurd project could also use the [[Shepherd|open_issues/shepherd]]
+as another alternative init system.
