I have asked the Glibc maintainers to facilitate installation of the necessary Glibc changes.
Maybe we need to add another Hurd maintainer who will devote more time to this. Is there someone who would like to volunteer? I could, but I suspect some people would scream loudly; my branch is still the most up-to-date branch in the Hurd, despite me not being allowed to contribute to it for quite some time. But, I do not think that this is the right solution. There are too many chefs trying to cook different stews, and trying to serve it as a single dish; and some only taking up space. I think the only way to go forward is to remove maintainers, and get one or two people. It will always be that Roland and Bushenll are the ones who decide what goes into the tree. And as long as this persists, the Hurd will not move forward. What would also be useful is to appoint one of the people as the maintainer of the Hurd bits in glibc. For GDB there is no need, since I do that work already, and for GCC there is no need since no such bits actually exist (only that there are some problems with MAXPATHLEN and such). _______________________________________________ gnu-system-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-system-discuss
