I'm not aware about this mail-list. Can you tell me more? It is a list where discussings are taking place about how the GNU system should look like; more or less. > Well, truth to be told it seems that we are abandong GNU Mach 2.x > (aka OSKIT-Mach) since it is a pitta to add/update drivers to. > Most people use GNU Mach 1.x to my knowledge. I see. Then I can just use the sources from debian, and move along from there? More or less, it all depends on if you wish to hack on GNU Mach (fix bugs, add/update drivers, etc). How about the steps to L4 microkernel? Is there any documents explaining roadmaps to L4? Yes, you would need to checkout the hurd-l4 module from CVS. Just added it to the list of things to checkout in http://www.update.uu.se/~ams/gnu/cvs... You could also just access the CVS repositor directly via www and look at it; see http://sv.gnu.org/projects/hurd. I understands pthread support is not completed, yet? How can I help here? What would be nice is to have a testsuite for pthreads that checks that things work as they should. From what I remeber the pthread implementation in the Hurd will be ditched infavor of NPTL. So a testsuite that uses and abuses pthread functionality will be a good thing when someone will start writting a NPTL implementation for the Hurd. Happy hacking.
