Great! I'm currently preparing a tutorial on Mach, Lites and GNU/Hurd for the german unix users group (GUUG) technical spring conference in Cologne, http://www.guug.de/ffg99/ due March 17th. I do have the option to put Mach/Hurd on the proceedings CD-ROM until ca. 2 March. Since I'm trying to motivate people to write new Mach- und Hurd-based software, it would be good to provide them on the same occation with a working development environment... > Please let me know what you thing is missing on this list: > * ae, dpkg, egcs, perl, findutils need an update. [Marcus] > * Check remaining packages in base thoroughly. [Marcus] > * GNU inetutils (coming soon). [Marcus+ ? ] > * ext2utils, glibc [gordon] cross-gcc or cross-egcs packages [built for Debian/Linux] native-gcc or native-egcs packages gdb Very important for developers: _sources_ for gnumach, the hurd and glibc! Mach and Hurd Maintainers: could you please add some infos about how you debug under the Hurd? [Meaning: gdb features, starting alternate servers, using portinfo, ...] > Expected time frame: two-three weeks. Could an intermediate release be ready by March 1st for the GUUG CD-ROM? -Farid. -- Farid Hajji Broicherdorfstr. 83, D-41564 Kaarst, Germany Phone: +49-2131-67-555, E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
