[[!tag open_issue_hurd]]
This todo is primarily targetted at the Hurd proper
and applications that rely on the Hurd interfaces.
* psmisc
The tools provided by the psmisc package are linux centric. Killall and pstree, for instance, require Linux's proc file system but could just as easily use Hurd's libps.
* tmpfs
* ppp
* unionfs/stowfs
* supermount translator
From Marcus, 2002:
* xkb driver for console (for international users)
* kbd leds in console (well, in general, Roland's new driver in oskit for that crap)
* fixing tmpfs (it's buggy, Neal says it's Mach's fault)
* adding posix shared memory (requires the io\_close call to be implemented)
* adding posix file locking (requires the io\_close call to be implemented)
* testing
* find + various filesystems (are inode numbers for . and .. sane?)
* ext2fs with other block sizes than 4096
* --help and --version and --usage in all programs
* I have seen ^V in some --help output, might be argp bug
* Verify that all options are documented clearly, and that no unimplemented options appear
* Is the short and long description in the help output correct?
* Is the return value of all programs correct (eg, does main() return a sane value)
* Is the suid bit correctly set for all installed programs?
* Translators
* Does settrans -g work? -fg?
* Does fsysopts work? Does setting options with fsysopts work?
IRC, freenode, #hurd, 2013-05-23:
<gnu_srs> fsysopts /servers/socket/2 works by /1 gives Operation not
supported.
[[!taglink open_issue_hurd]].
<braunr> ah right, some servers don't implement that
<braunr> work around this by using showtrans
<braunr> fsysopts asks the server itself how it's running, usually giving
its command name and options
<braunr> showtrans asks the parent how it starts a passive translator
attached to the node
<gnu_srs> Yes showtrans works :), thanks.
* Does stat() work on all translated nodes and give proper data?
* What about chown, chmod (some translators should pass this through to the underlying node, esp in /dev!)
* Does statfs give correct data?
* Are all inode numbers and link counts correct?
* We also should have a "make check" test suite. We can add this once Jeff finished his automake patches
* pick up the other things
* new console is basically done
* needs integration of course
* X switching support
* there is certainly more to do ...

Where difficulty 0 means trivial and 4 means tricky; the difficulty has nothing to do with the importance.
