YOU are actually one of those problems, you are somebody who downgrades grave bugs to wishlist because the Hurd is unreleased. I don't need to write a FAQ about that, it's already documented that if a package doesn't build it's a grave bug. Yeah we know the Hurd is an unreleased architecture and the bts doesn't understand that, that's why we file the bug as important instead of grave. But that doesn't mean that the bug is wishlist, it's still a grave bug. This is all documented, no need for me to write it down another time. And of course people reinvent the wheel. Do you know why? Because some people just don't want to cooperate to do it together all at once. > > allowed to add extra directories to / for example, but the system > > would be unusable without /hurd.

The problem is that binaries from *BSD won't run on Debian *BSD and we have to change every GNU package and the GNU coding standards. If you look at portability and compatiblity, those 'linux people' are just as worse as Microsoft, the company they hate so much. The difference is just that they use free software and the biggest part of the GNU system. And I think that's a problem, because I want GNU/Hurd to be compatible and portable. > > The FHS says it's for "UNIX-like operating systems". GNU isn't > > UNIX-like, you know what the acronym means.
