Hello, As Debian Trixie is to be released this week-end, I'll publish iso images for a Debian GNU/Hurd 2025. The question is what features did we collect since 2023, to be put in the news? On the top of my head I can think of the following mainlines:
- obviously, now-working 64b support with the same ~ 70% Debian archive coverage (actually a bit more than 32b since some packages are 64b-only) - this port is completely using userland disk drivers from FreeBSD 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 - USB disk&cd support - quite-working SMP support - the console is now using xkb for keyboard layouts, and supports multiboot-provided framebuffer - various additional support (acpi, rtc, apic, hpet, ...) - documentation improvement - various other fixes (irqs, nfsv3, libports, pipes corner cases, ...) (and we need to point people at the FAQ: comments in webnews show how much people ask the same questions over and over without imagining that perhaps the FAQ could just answer them all...) Do you think of anything else? Samuel
