This page attempts to be a reference for all resources related to Debian GNU/Hurd that can be useful for users and developers. Feel free to add more stuff as you see fit.
"In a discussion with the Debian Hurd porters it was decided that the Hurd port stays on FTPMaster until Wheezy is released. Should they have managed to get the port into a state that it is released together with all the others (probably as a technology preview), it is kept in the archive. Should they not manage this the port will be removed from the main archive and move fully to debian-ports.org."1
What is Debian GNU/Hurd ?
Debian GNU/Hurd is an operating system from Debian, but which uses GNU Hurd, which a set of servers, running on top of the GNU Mach microkernel instead of the kernel named Linux (thus the name Debian GNU/Hurd). Some day, most applications will exist both in Debian GNU/Hurd and in Debian GNU/Linux.
Basic info
- Installation and testing:
http://www.debian.org/ports/hurd/hurd-install
Debian "Sid" debian-installer images available http://people.debian.org/~sthibault/hurd-i386/installer/cdimage/.
- This is the prefered method of install.
Pre-build image files (*.img.*) at http://people.debian.org/~sthibault/hurd-i386/

IRC channel: #hurd on irc.freenode.net (not irc.debian.org)
Goals for releasing in wheezy
- buildd
- security
- DSA
- proper dhcp support in installed system
- use ifup/ifdown instead of translators entry?
- debian-ports packages need to be integrated in the main archive.
acl, to remove
bash
- Only to fix a rare segfault, already accepted upstream, available in experimental
- binutils
- Not critical, can live without
- cardmgr-gnumach
- wifi, not mandatory
- console-driver-xkb
- we should probably just integrate it in the hurd package
cscope, to remove
- ecl
- not installable, to remove
eglibc, to remove
exim4, to remove
gamin
- needs few patches already sent in various bugzilla.gnome.org reports:
- Fixed, to remove
- gcc-4.4 gcc-4.6
- not critical, can live without
gdb, to remove
gdm3, to remove
gem2deb
- drops ruby 1.9.1 support, as it is not available on hurd
- to remove
- ghc6
- Difficult hang during build
gnutls26
- to remove
- gopherfs
- ITP: hurdextras?
- grub2
- decide on partition stuff, and submit
gtest, remove
hdf5
http://bugs.debian.org/627896 , fixed in experimental
- to remove
- hyperestraier
- not mandatory
- icon
- not mandatory
- ifupdown
- TODO
- isc-dhcp
- lockdev
- TODO
- libdrm
- This is just a stub. integrate in the main archive?
- libpthread-stubs
- libusb
- This is just a stub. integrate in the main archive?
- mpi-defaults
http://bugs.debian.org/553701 , fixed in experimental
- netio
- ITP: hurdextras?
- parted
- decide on partition stuff, and submit
- pulseaudio
See http://www.pulseaudio.org/ticket/817 : upstream is not very responsive...
- TODO: check again whether it builds
- qdbm
- make check fails
- random-egd, make it an alternative to Marcus' C implementation
- not mandatory
- ruby1.9.1
Fix libc_stack_end in glibc, pending
apply patch to fix struct dirent size once upstream agreed.
- TODO: fix PATH_MAX issue
- sane-backends-extras
- not mandatory
- screen
trivial fix on http://bugs.debian.org/522689 , uploaded to experimental
- tarfs
- ITP: hurdextras?
tcp-wrappers, to remove
- wireless-tools-gnumach
- for wifi, probably not mandatory
- Be able to install from official mirror (should be almost done, missing grub/parted)
- Integrate DDE to get nowadays' network support.
- Get Xorg + gnome/kde/xfce (xfce should work, kde is missing working dbus (due to local socket auth and bugs in select() cornercases)) + some webbrowser working (iceweasel works).
Fix ext2fs uncleanness at reboot http://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/open_issues/sync_but_still_unclean_filesystem.html
- Switch to plain sysv startup?
- Enable console by default? (we now have proper kernel message relaying)
- Good archive coverage.
- We're at 70%, kfreebsd is at 85%. Although probably not reachable, we can probably do better with
- ghc6
- gnat
ruby1.9.1
- We're at 70%, kfreebsd is at 85%. Although probably not reachable, we can probably do better with
Goals for later
- IPv6 support in d-i (after it is settled for linux).
Developer info
- DD-accessible machines running GNU/Hurd:
hurd-i386: see ArchiveQualification/hurd-i386
Patches that are only needed for Debian (either because they're fixed-upstream, or because of their Debian-specific nature)
