Technically libfuse is not a translator, but a library. Also, it is not uptodate to the latest libfuse API, so that with the fact that the majority of FUSE file systems use pthreads made it not that useful, yet. > * Ludovic Courtes [fixed invalid port deallocation in `symlink'] > (http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2012-03/msg00013.html) > and [made console-run resilient against missing /dev/console] > (http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2012-03/msg2.html), > improving the overall reliability of the system.

Re: qoth 2012 q1/q2, preliminary
The only thing that I would include is that the current pthreads branch is best found here, thanks to Richard Braun: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2012-08/msg00062.html Thomas DiModica

I would rather write: Svante Signell [added] (http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2012-03/msg00060.html) cross-compiled, bootstrapped and ported GNU Ada: GNAT to Hurd. Ada is a language used in many mission-critical applications, such as automotive and aerospace, due to its nice features, (can be omitted if too long->) such as strong typing, modularity,run-time checking, parallel processing, exception handling, generics, as well as object-oriented programming. This statement I'm not sure about: This gives us the option to use provable programs optimized for embedded systems with the Hurd. Maybe you can also mention: Svante Signell continued to port a number of Debian packages to GNU/Hurd, one important package being ifupdown (, see #296115 (#672212): can be omitted) (and ifupdown build depends on noweb, the literal programming language, which depends on icon, mentioned below)

This TLS has nothing to do with network TLS actually :) This commit is actually an "at last!" push into upstream of the long-maintained debian patch. Samuel
