Latest Release

+

+The latest release of MiG is version 1.3, 2002-03-08. It features: +

    +
  • Minor bug fixes.
    • +
  • The new keyword retcode is accepted as a parameter +modifier. This does not do anything, but is accepted for +compatibility with the MiG input syntax used with OSF Mach.
    • +
  • The debian/ subdirectory of packaging files is now +included in the MiG source distribution.
    • +
+

+You can download the latest version of MiG from the GNU ftp server: +

+ +

CVS repository

+

+The MiG source code is managed in the version control system 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 mig + +

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

Archived snapshots

+

+The whole source code of MiG is also available as a single compressed +TAR file via FTP. The file ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/cvs/mig.tgz +[145K] contains a snapshot of the MiG source repository +which is remade daily. + +

Browsing the code

+

+You can also browse the CVS +repository of MiG with your web browser. The web pages are +generated dynamically at the time you request them and are always up +to date. + +

Introduction to GNU MiG

+

+MiG is the Mach 3.0 interface generator, as maintained by the GNU Hurd +developers for the GNU project. +

+The interface generator produces stub code from interface definition +(.defs) files. The stub code makes it easy to implement +and use Mach interfaces as remote procedure calls (RPC). +

+You need this tool to compile the GNU Mach and Hurd distributions, and +to compile the GNU C library for the Hurd. Also, you will need it for +other software in the GNU systems that uses Mach-based inter-process +communication. + +

Status of the project

+

+MiG 1.3 was released in March 2002, and features compatibility with +OSF Mach. +

What's old?

+
16 August 2002
+
The Hurd sources have stabilized again after a short period in +which some of the interfaces were changed to prepare support of long +files. All relevant filesystem and I/O interfaces have been modified +to use 64 bit even on 32 bit systems. + +In light of the small and patient user base, we decided to drop +backwards compatibility and replace the interfaces instead extending +them. This means that the binaries of the Hurd, the C library, and +some other programs need to be replaced manually, all at the same +time, followed by a reboot. + +A detailed +step-by-step procedure how to upgrade Debian GNU/Hurd is available +on the Debian web site. + +People not using a binary distribution need to do a full manual +bootstrap. It is recommended to treat this as a cross-compilation +case. +

+ +

31 July 2002
+
A new page has been added to the site, listing related projects. You can find it at +the bottom of the menu. +

+ +

22 June 2002
+
Various developers of the Hurd and people interested in it will meet +at the Libre Software Meeting in +Bordeaux on July 9-13. Neal Walfield, who is working on porting the +Hurd to the L4 microkernel, will give +a presentation about L4, the people from +HurdFr will give an +introduction to the Hurd, and another presentation about the Hurd will +be given by Marcus Brinkmann. There might be additional talks about +the Hurd and related topics. +

+ +
28 May 2002
+
We are pleased to announce version 1.3 of the GNU distribution of +the Mach kernel, featuring advanced boot script support, support for +large disks (>= 10GB) and an improved console. +

+This distribution is only for x86 PC machines. +Volunteers interested in ports to other architectures are eagerly sought. +

+More information about GNU +Mach 1.3 is available on the GNU Mach web page. +

+ +
24 May 2002
+
Finally, the transition from the stdio-based GLibC Application +Binary Interface (ABI) to the libio-based GLibC ABI has been +completed. The Debian GNU/Hurd binary distribution has resumed +building packages again, and everything should be back to normal. +Note that we have also switched to GCC 3.1 as our default +compiler. Thanks to everyone who helped in making all this possible, +and our apologize for any inconvenience we have caused you. +

+ +

18 May 2002
+
The "Linux and Unix User Group Heilbronn" (in Germany) is organizing +a Debian GNU/Hurd installation party at +25 May 2002. In addition to that, Wolfgang Jährling will give a talk +about usage of GNU/Hurd, common problems found in porting programs to +GNU/Hurd and programming of extensions for the Hurd. It is a public +event, so everyone is free to show up and participate. +

+ +

05 May 2002
+
We are currently finishing the transition from a stdio-based GNU C +Library (glibc) to a libio-based one. This is the result of about +five months of work we put into getting the system ready and, of +course, the work that the glibc developers did to make glibc what it +is. +

+This change will have various advantages, for example libio has been +tested more extensively, as it is also used by most GNU/Linux systems +for some time now. However, it also means a change in the Application +Binary Interface (ABI) of glibc, thus you will need to reinstall an +existing Debian GNU/Hurd system. Upgrading has not been tested at +all, so better do not expect it to work. Also note that you will need +to get some of the Debian packages from alpha.gnu.org. +Please read the recent mailing list archives for details. +

+Important Note: As another temporary complication, the current +installation tarball is available at a different place +than usual. +

+ +

23 March 2002
+
Added The Hurd +Hacking Guide to the documentation section. Thanks to Wolfgang +Jährling for providing this introduction into GNU/Hurd and Mach +programming! +

+ +

08 March 2002
+
We are pleased to announce version 1.3 of the GNU distribution of the +Mach 3.0 interface generator `MiG'. It may be found in the file +http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/mig/mig-1.3.tar.gz (about 145 KB compressed). +

+Diffs from version 1.2 are in http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/mig/mig-1.2-1.3.diff.gz +(about 6 KB compressed, 15 KB uncompressed). Relative to version 1.2, +version 1.3 contains only some minor fixes. +

+You need this tool to compile the GNU Mach and Hurd distributions, and +to compile GNU libc for the Hurd. +

+Bug reports relating to this distribution should be sent to +bug-hurd@gnu.org. Requests for assistance should be made on +help-hurd@gnu.org. +

+The md5sum checksum for this distibution is: +

+45c2b7456727d81dbd75f7152f8136fd mig-1.3.tar.gz +

+ +

03 March 2002
+
There is a new mailing list called +Hurd-devel-readers. It is the read-only version of Hurd-devel. +

+Hurd-devel is a mailing list for detailed discussions +of design and implementation issues in the GNU Hurd; it is an internal +low-volume list restricted to the core developers of the Hurd. While +the web-based +archive of Hurd-devel has always been public, the new mailing list +Hurd-devel-readers provides a convenient way to follow +the discussion of the Hurd experts. +

+If you are a recipient of Hurd-devel-readers and want +to follow up on the discussion, please reply to the +Bug-hurd mailing list. +
