Dear maintainer :) please merge procfs (found in [0]) into the main Hurd repository.
0: git://git.sv.gnu.org/hurd/procfs.git Rationale: The procfs translator provides a Linux-compatible /proc filesystem. While there is no standard that defines the /proc filesystem, a lot of software depends on this. Having a /proc filesystem thus enables more software to run on the Hurd. The procfs has been tested in Debian/Hurd for quite some time now. I consider it essential for any Hurd distribution. Pros: Integrating it into the main repository ... * ... gives it a broader exposure to reviews, cleanups, and static analysis. * ... makes large-scale changes to the Hurd base easier. The procfs translator depends on the API and most likely even internal implementational details of the core Hurd libraries. * ... makes packaging the Hurd easier for Debian/Hurd and any other potential distributions. Thanks for considering, Justus
