One thing you can do is run crosshurd. If you have the attr package
installed and a xattr-hurd enabled kernel, it will setup the passive
translators from GNU/Linux, (you'll get notified about this at the end
of the extraction process) and you only have to run native-install once.
Or, you can use getfattr/setfattr to list/set passive translators on
GNU/Hurd partitions from GNU/Linux. Something like
getfattr -d -n "gnu.*" /gnu/servers/*
should work I think. Google for Roland's original mail on bug-hurd for
more information.
Further, you could install star and extract the old xattr-hurd tarball
from
http://people.debian.org/~mbanck/xattr-hurd/gnu-latest.tar.bz2
See the old announcments at
http://lists.debian.org/debian-hurd/2004/08/msg00006.html
http://lists.debian.org/debian-hurd/2004/09/msg00036.html
for more information on that.
cheers,
