Debian project publishes new Hurd release |
 |
While the Debian project is best known for its Linux distribution, branches of Debian also experiment with alternative kernels. There is a port of Debian which runs on the GNU Hurd kernel and it supports approximately 72% of the same software as Debian's Linux distribution. The Debian GNU/Hurd team have released a new snapshot which is built with mostly the same source software as Debian 13. "Debian GNU/Hurd is currently available for the i386 and amd64 architectures with about 72% of the Debian archive, and more to come! 64-bit support is now complete, with the same archive coverage as i386
(actually a bit more since some packages are 64-bit-only). This 64-bit support is completely using userland disk drivers from NetBSD thanks to the Rump layer. We now use xattr by default for recording translators, allowing to bootstrap seamlessly from other OSes, with mmdebstrap for instance. Rust was ported to GNU/Hurd. Support for USB disk and CD-ROM was added through Rump. Packages are now available for SMP support, which is quite working. The console is now using xkb for keyboard layouts, and supports multiboot-provided framebuffer. Various other support were added (acpi, rtc, apic, hpet, ...)" Download options and documentation can be found through the team's mailing list post.
