Hi, An issue that repeatedly came up in the past, is Hurd (and related) patches often not getting applied. (Most recently on gnu-system-dicsuss, though it's arguably somewhat off-topic for this list...)
It was quite interesting to find a remarkably similar discussion on the Xorg mailing list recently: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg/2007-November/030442.html So this in not really a Hurd-specific issue -- it happens even in such a major project. Maybe there is something to learn from this thread. The subthread starting at http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg/2007-November/030465.html is very enlightening in particular. The problems described there seem almost identical to what we see here -- which is not surprising, considering the very similar situation: They too have a large code base, most of which predates the current active developers, so nobody feels in charge... -antrik- _______________________________________________ Bug-hurd mailing list Bug-hurd@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-hurd
