This +will take time and the port is not in a releasable state -- this is why there +is no information about the L4 port on the website for the Hurd project + other than this FAQ entry. + +The development of Hurd/L4 is being done in the `hurd-l4` module of the Hurd +CVS repository. The `doc` directory contains a design document that is worth +reading for anyone who wishes to learn more about Hurd/L4. If you wish to +follow the development or contribute patches to Hurd/L4, please subscribe to +the [[mailing_lists/l4-hurd]] mailing list. -- cgit v1.2.3 From 1c011a2c939283e4ab4465da7f2bc6448ca4e568 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Schwinge Date: Mon, 14 Jul 2008 16:29:11 +0200 Subject: Add copyright and license header. --- hurd/running/debian/faq.mdwn | 10 ++++++++++ 1 file changed, 10 insertions(+) (limited to 'hurd') diff --git a/hurd/running/debian/faq.mdwn b/hurd/running/debian/faq.mdwn index 1d0401f5..f4b607bf 100644 --- a/hurd/running/debian/faq.mdwn +++ b/hurd/running/debian/faq.mdwn @@ -1,3 +1,13 @@ +[[meta copyright="Copyright © 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc."]] + +[[meta license="""[[toggle id="license" text="GFDL 1.2+"]][[toggleable +id="license" text="Permission is granted to copy, distribute and/or modify this +document under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 or +any later version published by the Free Software Foundation; with no Invariant +Sections, no Front-Cover Texts, and no Back-Cover Texts.
