The goal of this project is to redo the glue code, so we can use drivers from current Linux versions, or from one of the free BSD variants. -Using [ddekit](http://demo.tudos.org/dsweeper_tutorial.html) instead of our -own glue code can be explored as a possible alternative approach. +While it would be certainly possible to create custom glue code again, a more +sustainable and probably also easier approch is to use +[ddekit](http://demo.tudos.org/dsweeper_tutorial.html) instead -- it already +does the hard work of providing an environment where the foreign drivers can +run, and has the additional advantage of being externally maintained. This is a doable, but pretty involved project. Experience with driver programming under Linux (or BSD) is a must. (No Hurd-specific knowledge is |
