<gcannata23>I think - I may be wrong - that one shall use https://github.com/rumpkernel/wiki/wiki/Repo%3A-buildrump.sh to build the required rump kernels as a shared or static library in the Hurd system, link them in the rumpdisk Makefile and finally...I don't know...I yet have to discover

<gcannata23>The above are just suppositions but if there is an establish pattern to include rump kernels in Hurd then we can maybe add some documentation around it

<gcannata23>What do you think about this article ? https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/whats-wrong-with-github.html

<gcannata23>I think GitHub is good for beginners and it has grown a lot since Micro$oft acquisition but a Senior developer can move on to better FOSS alternatives if it seeks indipendence

<gcannata23>Also, based on the article, I wonder how GitHub and a project's license cohexist

<gcannata23>When you create a repository you just give up the authorship to GitHub or not ? I don't know. I need to read GitHub's term and conditions

<Gooberpatrol66>github just steals your code and uses it to train proprietary models

<aculnaig>Gooberpatrol66: yeah, I have found it know by reading the terms and conditions.

<sneek>Welcome back aculnaig, you have 1 message!

<sneek>aculnaig, gnucode says: good luck on working with httpfs ! It would be nice to get that in a better shape!

<aculnaig>gnucode: Thank you !

<Darelelve>youpi: Hello, is there a general approach to resolving the issue of an undeclared MAXPATHLEN?

<youpi>Darelelve: it's documented on the wiki, yes

<Pellescours>I have a strange issue when I do "settrans -fgap /servers/socket/2 /hurd/pfinet -i /dev/wm0" I have error "settrans: /servers/socket/2: Numerical result out of range", and sometimes I have "ext2fs: ../../libfshelp/fetch-control.c:37: fshelp_fetch_control: Unexpected error: (os/kern) invalid right."

<Pellescours>another weird behavior "showtrans /servers/socket/2" returns "/hurd/pfinet -6 /servers/socket/26" and "showtrans /servers/socket/6" returns "/hurd/pfinet -4 /servers/socket/2"

<Pellescours>damo22: I just tried gnumach SMP (with all cpus in default cpuset), I had to disable networking otherwise it hang at DHCP step. In login screen I see the error "loging: hurdsig.c:978: post_signal: Unexpected error: (ipc/send) invalid destination port."

<aculnaig>Hello, there is someone here that has some grasp of https://github.com/rumpkernel/buildrump.sh ?

<Pellescours>aculnaig: you should loo

<Pellescours>you should look at https://salsa.debian.org/hurd-team/rumpkernel which is what is used to build rump for hurd today

<Pellescours>rumpkernel was basically merged NetBsd upstream years ago. And we have some patches that are required (not merged upstream) to be able to have it working on hurd

<aculnaig>Pellescours: got it, thanks.
