We could try joint remote eating of ice-creams ;-)

So it truly isn't surprising - except for the fact that we didn't yet enjoy 
eating ice-cream together ;-) 

Have a nice week!

I love ice-cream :-D If you do, too, then the echo is not surprising

Yeah, this is a great goal, because people do tend to think like this :-(

Indeed, it's great when you can find something *real* behind, so I
completely agree that it's necessary to make the code public.

*gg* why do I hear "ice cream man" echoing in my head ;-) 

I try to contribute in the way I can, and writing these news is the best way I 
see. I don't have the time to tackle a bigger task, but I think that the news 
can help a lot in shedding the reputation that the Hurd will never be 
finished. 

That's also one of the reasons why I only want to write about public code: I 
want to avoid anything which could hint at vaporware.

I'd say that the mailing list archives are pretty public :-) 

I added a note that the patches are in bug-hurd - and a link to the list. 

Best wishes, 
Arne

Hello,

First of all, thank you for your being the news man :-)

Unfourtunately, most of my code is currently being reviewed and
tweaked in the form of patches, which live on the mailing list and in
my private branches.  If somebody is really interested in testing
unionmount right away, it should be possible (though hard) to detect
the final (or almost final) versions of the patches in ML archives and
to apply them to get the working code.  However, what I will be moving
towards very soon is applying the correct versions to the
master-unionmount branch in the unionfs git repository
(http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/hurd/unionfs.git).

So, no public code yet; but you have my promise to make it public ;-)

scolobb
