Well, this upload fixed the /libexec/rc and /bin/login permission problems, and is built against a current glibc finally. So all the (to my knowledge) remaining issues at hand should have been addressed. However, it does not start the Hurd console by default yet. Further, Guillem Jover has reported a problem with running the Hurd console, which I have also seen in the past: The screen just blanks after running the console command. So it would be nice if this would get more testing. Note that this package contains Marco's kbd and mouse repeaters from http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2004-07/msg00136.html and thus the Hurd console needs to be started as follows: console -d vga -d pc_kbd --repeat=kbd -d pc_mouse --repeat=mouse -c /dev/cons /dev/vcs Also, adding symlinks from /dev/cons/{kbd,mouse} to /dev/{kbd,mouse} or adjusting XF86Config-4 is required for X to start properly. If the issues with starting the Hurd console turn out to be unrelated and no other issues appear, I guess the current state would be appropriate for K7. We could then think about how to best integrate the Hurd console on bootup and what else to do to harmonize the bootup with the rest of Debian.
