Re: License of Hurd's common lisp bindings

Hi Maxime, are you still interested in working on Guile bindings for the Hurd? If so, do you have a public repository where we could collaborate? I second the request for license clarification. With the GPL, strict versioning without the upgrade clause makes combining works difficult.

Re: [PATCH] SMP initialization: detection and enumeration

Hi, for any patch it’s best to not just show a single large diff but to split the changes into logically related commits. You’re probably working with Git, so the unit that we’re working with is a Git commit. You should group related changes and commit them together. The commit message should
