Contributing

+

+If you want to contribute to the Hurd, you should first install and +use it for a while, to become familiar with its features and design. +To join the development team, subscribe to the +Bug-Hurd +<bug-hurd@gnu.org> +mailing list, which is also the place where you can announce your +intentions, make your proposals and send in your patches. +

+ +

Tasks

+

+Developing an operating system is a huge job, with a lot of different +things to do. Beside all the obvious ones (writing documentation, +finding and fixing bugs, optimization etc), we keep a list of specific +items in the +task file +and in the +TODO file +of the Hurd source repository. +

CVS Repository

+

+The only way to get the current Hurd sources is using CVS. You can check out the CVS +repository through anonymous (pserver) CVS with the following +instruction set. When prompted for a password for anoncvs, +simply press the Enter key. + +

+Source tree: +cvs -d:pserver:anoncvs@subversions.gnu.org:/cvsroot/hurd login
+ 
+cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anoncvs@subversions.gnu.org:/cvsroot/hurd co hurd + +

Updates from within the module's directory do not need the -d parameter. +

How it started

+

+Richard Stallman (RMS) started GNU in 1983, as a project to create a +complete free operating system. In the text of the GNU Manifesto, he +mentioned that there is a primitive kernel. In the first GNUsletter, +Feb. 1986, he says that GNU's kernel is TRIX, which was developed at +the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. + +

+By December of 1986, the Free Software Foundation (FSF) had "started +working on the changes needed to TRIX" [Gnusletter, Jan. 1987]. +Shortly thereafter, the FSF began "negotiating with Professor Rashid +of Carnegie-Mellon University about working with them on the +development of the Mach kernel" [Gnusletter, June, 1987]. The text +implies that the FSF wanted to use someone else's work, rather than +have to fix TRIX. + +

+In [Gnusletter, Feb. 1988], RMS was talking about taking Mach and +putting the Berkeley Sprite filesystem on top of it, "after the parts +of Berkeley Unix... have been replaced." + +

+Six months later, the FSF is saying that "if we can't get Mach, we'll +use TRIX or Berkeley's Sprite." Here, they present Sprite as a +full-kernel option, rather than just a filesystem. + +

+In January, 1990, they say "we aren't doing any kernel work. It does +not make sense for us to start a kernel project now, when we still +hope to use Mach" [Gnusletter, Jan. 1990]. Nothing significant occurs +until 1991, when a more detailed plan is announced: + +

+We are still interested in a multi-process kernel running on top of +Mach. The CMU lawyers are currently deciding if they can release Mach +with distribution conditions that will enable us to distribute it. If +they decide to do so, then we will probably start work. CMU has +available under the same terms as Mach a single-server partial Unix +emulator named Poe; it is rather slow and provides minimal +functionality. We would probably begin by extending Poe to provide +full functionality. Later we hope to have a modular emulator divided +into multiple processes. [Gnusletter, Jan. 1991]. +
+ +

+RMS explains the relationship between the Hurd and Linux in The Hurd and Linux, where he mentions +that the FSF started developing the Hurd in 1990. As of [Gnusletter, +Nov. 1991], the Hurd (running on Mach) is GNU's official kernel. + +

Latest Version

+

+The GNU Hurd is under active development. Because of that, there is +no `stable' version. The latest released version is 0.2, and dates +back to 1997. This version should not be used anymore. +

+Although it is possible to bootstrap the Hurd system from the sources +by cross-compiling and installing the system software and the basic +applications, this is a difficult process. It is not recommended that +you do this. Instead, you should get a binary distribution of the +Hurd, which comes with all the GNU software precompiled and an +installation routine which is easy to use. +

+The Debian project has commited +to provide such a binary distribution. +Debian GNU/Hurd is +currently under development and available in the sid/unstable branch +of the Debian archive. + +

Installation Instructions
