However, not all necessary information is exported via /proc (even on -Linux); there are some bits still missing in the Hurd procfs implementation; -and there are a couple of bugs that need to be fixed to make it fully usable. - -The goal of this project is a fully functional libgtop in Debian GNU/Hurd. Some -application(s) using it also need to be ported, e.g. gnome-system-monitor. - -Some bits of this work are easy, others need some digging into Hurd internals. -This task doesn't require any specific previous knowledge (besides of general -C/UNIX programming skills of course); but during the course of the project, -some knowledge about Hurd internals will have to be obtained, along with a bit -of Debian stuff. - -Possible mentors: Samuel Thibault (youpi) - -Exercise: Fix one of the shortcomings in the existing procfs implementation. |
