While the glibc issue seems to have turned out mostly a communication problem (although some of Ullrich Drepper's comments on the Hurd-related bugs suggested otherwise...), the Hurd issue is much more fundamental. There is no problem for obvious fixes: There are at least two active developers with commit access, who can directly commit such obvious things. However, the currently active people are relatively new to the Hurd, and aren't confindent enough yet to decide on any more fundamental matters; while those who have been around long enough to have the necessary understanding, are lacking either time or interest -- so often there is just nobody to even comment on a proposed change, far less to give it official blessing :-( The result is that most patches end up in Debian GNU/Hurd (the Debian maintainers happily apply any patch that seems to improve things, no matter whether it's a "proper" solution or only an experimental hack); but most of them never make it to the official Hurd CVS. -antrik- _______________________________________________ Bug-hurd mailing list Bug-hurd@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-hurd
