That's basically it, yes.
It was suggested on #debian-hurd IRC that we establish a list of things
to achieve. It's quite hard to wire down since the criterions for a
"technology preview" are not really wired down, so your mileage may
vary. I guess what would be good would be to have at least is Xorg +
gnome/kde + some webbrowser working.
Among things that people frowned upon were
- Some packages are on debian-ports. That should only be temporary.
- Archive coverage is about 68%, vs the 85% of kfreebsd, though a
difference is that the latter has often seen applications already
ported to upstream FreeBSD.
- Support for current hardware, DDE needs to be integrated.
- We'd probably need a hurd porter in the release team to take care of
its testing distribution.
- Old now-FTBFS binary packages should indeed be dropped from the
archive to avoid being in the way of the release team. Ries can be
used for that now.
Again, that is not exhaustive, and certainly not wired down. Progress on
some goals could compensate other issues. The archive coverage may be a
concern: possibly getting from 68% to 85% won't come by just fixing a
few depended-on packages... (though that'll help quite a bit, e.g. ghc6
still hinders 2.5%, see
