It looks like it with LLVM on Hurd coming! I predict the Guix, Hurd `Mes' next as a hackable system. Add SMP and RISC-V and the fun really starts. What a time to be alive :) BTW the Hurd download image on the Guix website has a really small partition. Even installing a simple package runs out of disk space. Is there a reason for that, or could we default to something bigger (say 20Gb)? The actual gcow2 download size will not be larger. I tried expanding the ext2 partition from Linux and, while it worked, it gave interesting ext2 errors and crashed the fs. I guess the non-Hurd resize commands introduces some incompatibility. I know I can build an image with Guix, but it is not ideal if people can not just use the download image to try stuff. What is the point of making a download available ;) Any trick I am missing? Pj.
