This is my final report :) the GSoC was great, I learned a lot about the Hurd and Mach programming in general. I am also very pleased to announce that I reached my initial goal and almost all of my patches already made it upstream and into Debian :) I spent my last week `fixing issues I introduced <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2013-09/msg00210.html>`_ and splitting up `/hurd/init` into `two programs <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2013-09/msg00245.html>`_. This would make it possible to integrate the patch that frees PID 1 for `sysvinit` into the Hurd upstream sources. I didn't quite finish the separation, but my proof of concept works and I will finish this as my next Hurd project. Looking back at the last fourteen weeks, I accomplished the following: I implemented /proc/mounts, umount, freed up PID 1 for sysvinit, fixed ifupdown, sysvinit and initscripts on Hurd, implemented a proof-of-concept cgroupfs and fixed many small issues along the way. Almost all of my patches are already upstream and in Debian, a Debian/Hurd booting using sysvinit is just a few uploads away. It has been a lot of fun and I will definitively see you around :) Justus -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
