GSoC: PATH_MAX

2011-04-06 Thread Patrik Olsson
Hello! As a preparation exercise for GSoC, I have fixed the PATH_MAX issue in three Debian packages: nekobee, whysynth and libsepol. There is no real reason I picked these packages, they were just first in the list here: https://buildd.debian.org/stats/?arch=hurd-i386&state=Failed Note that they

Many questions about translators

2010-04-15 Thread Patrik Olsson
To design HPM (Hurd Package Manager) I need answers to the following questions (at least to begin with): 1. Is it possible for an unprivileged user to override the translator of a node with another translator (at least, in their own view)? Basically, the question is if users'

Building software for the Hurd

2010-04-12 Thread Patrik Olsson
Hello, I wonder how to build software for the Hurd, and then run it. I think I need some cross compiler environment, but I'm not sure how to build it. Is this (link below) the recommended procedure for setting up a cross-compilation environment and doing cross-compilations? Actually, my question

2010-04-01 Thread Patrik Olsson
Hello! I recently read about the GSoC idea of "the Hurdish Package Manager". I have a few ideas about one. Let's call it "abcpkg" for now since I cannot find a better name (and the name "stow" is not appropriate for it, I think). Just a few words first about my experience with GNU/Hurd, Stow etc.
