Re: about GNU Hurd

[Alfred M. Szmidt]

   While the GNU system development seems to have slowed down somewhat
   over the last year (and was totally dormant between mid-90s and
   mid-00s),

The reason why there have not been any new snapshots, is because the
development of the Hurd has slowed down since the last snapshot was
made.  Just recompiling things for the sake of recompiling is not a
useful way to manage resources.  The Hurd has not had any noticible
development since the last snapshot, GCC is still broken, and glibc
does not work.  Nobody has sadly done anything to fix these problems.
Would you like to fix these problems?  If they can be fixed, then we
can make a new snapshot.  Then there are many more issues to be
solved.
