Debian only defines the base structure for the GNU/Linux operating system. Not for *BSD and GNU/Hurd. That's why *BSD and GNU/Hurd ports are having problems. > "Debian GNU/Hurd" implies beeing part > of Debian, so it has to fit into Debian's structure (defined by the > Policy).

Now there are GNU/Hurd and *BSD too. Because of that, we need to rethink the infrastructure. I want GNU/Hurd to be part of Debian, but to make that possible there are changes needed for Debian. > I still cannot see what does make you think Hurd were a completely > different OS.

Because 1) You think the Hurd is an OS. That's wrong, GNU is the OS. 2) You think the the GNU system isn't a new OS, while most developers of it including the one who started it and the developers of the Hurd say it's another operating system. With a few exceptions, GNU is written from scratch to be a new OS. If you want to know more about all this, I suggest you start reading the GNU website. I think the GNU manifesto is a good start. Why is it that difficult to see that Debian GNU/Hurd is a distribution of the GNU operating system? And Debian BSD a distribution of the BSD operating system? > > I can also tell it on your level, if you understand that better: You > > are just too stupid to understand the difference between our next new > > And you seem to be keen on claiming your own opinion to be the ultimate > truth. Go away. No, it's just that nobody convinced me that my opinion is wrong. Instead they start saying that I can't know etc. That isn't really convincing and only give me the feeling that I'm right. And be happy, I am going away! It's just that I defend my point of view for the last time. If this thread is ended, I'll unsubscribe.
