Hello, At last that work is out!
I've pushed the patchqueue from Richard to upstreams, built test debian packages on deb http://people.debian.org/~sthibault/hurd-i386/tmp ./ I hope to have not forgotten anything for the dependencies: the new hurd depends on the new libc0.3, and breaks the old netdde. I can confirm that the upgrade went fine on my machine, but it might be useful to test other cases. We'll have to wait for eglibc 2.13-38 to get uploaded to unstable before being able to upload that to unstable, and eventually push that to buildds, etc. I have to thank a lot everybody who was involved into that big change. Samuel
