<gnucode`>hello hurd people!

<gnucode>hmm, trying to mess with getting netsurf on the Hurd...

<gnucode>sudo apt dpkg-buildpackage -b -us -uc

<gnucode>unmet build dependencies: looks like about 10+ libraries

<gnucode>I will have to mess with that.

<azert>I have a basic question, if I run "settrans -c sh /hurd/symlink /bin/sh", I really get a symlink to sh, while I was expecting a passive translator to be installed in sh. What is the magic?

<youpi>it's a magic translator, yes, see diskfs_shortcut_symlink

<youpi>file-set-trans.c: if (diskfs_shortcut_symlink && !strcmp (passive, _HURD_SYMLINK))

<zamfofex>I’m looking forward to running Firefox/Icecat on the Hurd! 😄 I’ll be able to switch to it as my daily driver, then, and give feedback as appropriate!

<makads>hi

<makads>Can GNU Hurd now be installed on real hardware devices?

<damo22>it runs on x200 for example i tihnk

<damo22>but 64 bit and smp is not ready

<makads>what is x200?

<damo22>lenovo thinkpad x200

<makads>ok thanks

<makads>Can Core 2 Duo architecture CPUs run Hurd?

<damo22>yes

<damo22>theoretically it can run on any pentium

<damo22>or later

<makads>But the installation image of Debian GNU Hurd doesn't work on my own thinkpad 430 :')
