I've checked in SUSv3: uid_t is allowed to be unsigned.

  Concerns about login         


Author: Marc-Olivier Mercier
Date: Feb 24, 2008 07:57

I have installed Debian GNU/Hurd about 2 weeks ago. I have some concerns
about the way login works.

-----
GNU 0.3 (stracci) (tty5)

Use `login USER' to login, or `help' for more information.
login> login bob
login: bob: Unknown user
-----

1) Shouldn't "paranoid" be the only behavior of login? Currently, the
one who's trying to log in decide if he use -P or not... Well, i don't
understand why this is an option. I think that we shouldn't give too
much information not only about passwords but usernames too.

2) I tried to use the -P option but it just failed :
-----
GNU 0.3 (stracci) (tty5)

Use `login USER' to login, or `help' for more information.
login> login -P bob
[about 20 sec. passed then...]

GNU 0.3 (stracci) (tty5)

Yes, this is correct. We wanted to use bash scripts, so we could
create different build toolchains for different versions of gcc,
glibc, et. al. with required patches.

  tclsh issue (was: shutdown)

Hi,

(CCing to bug-hurd, as this is the right list for such things.)

The problem is with the output of tclsh being redirected through a pipe
-- you can also reproduce it with:

echo 'puts [info tclversion]' | /usr/bin/tclsh8.4 - | cat

This will print the version number, and hang afterwards. (But you can
abort the hang with ^C in this case, as it's only cat hanging, not the
shell.)

What you posted doesn't look like ``setting up GNU/Hurd'', but looks like
creating a cross compiler and libraries using the shell script I wrote.
Is that really what you want to do?

<http://www.bddebian.com/~wiki/hurd/building/cross-compiling/> has all
necessary information, including links to patches.

Ok, good news!

According to the wiki information, I booked rooms at The Moon Hotel, Rue
de la Montagne 4B

- one triple room for the night of Thirsday 21
- two double rooms and two double rooms for the nights of Friday 22, Saturday 23 and Sunday 24.
(these were the last rooms of the hotel)

i.e. 3+10*3 nights for a total cost of 1104€, which makes 33.5€/night.

in each room there is a double bed, so some people will have to be "couples" :) For now, we have

- Bas & girlfriend
- Gianluca & Samuel
- Marcus & Thomas
- ??

Breakfast is included, there is hotspot wifi

I would appreciate a public git mirror - I have created my own, but have
not yet subjected it to much testing, so I won't advertise the URL for
the moment. An "official" git mirror on Savannah would probably have
more bandwidth available than my server.

Presumably hurd/gnumach/mig mirrors could be created in the same way as
Jim Meyering did for emacs:

That mirror does not appear to have been kept up-to-date to me.
