Hi,
I prepared the news for 2010-07. Please check if something is missing
or doesn’t fit.
A month of the Hurd: *debian installer*, *compatibility*,
*make dist* and *newssites*.
> This month Jérémie Koenig got the
>
[Debian installer (d-i) for the
Hurd](http://jk.fr.eu.org/debian/hurd-installer/) into
> basic working state
with a simple
> [4 step installation
guide](http://jk.fr.eu.org/debian/hurd-installer/README.txt)
> ([status
mail](http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2010-07/msg00158.html)).
>
This gets us a big step towards easy installation and automated image
creation.
> You can track Jérémie’s progress on his
[[user_page|user/jkoenig]].
>
> Also Emilio Pozuelo Monfort worked on
improving the compatibility with
> third party programs via
> [changes to
exec](http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2010-07/msg00141.html)
>
and added support to
> [send file descriptors over Unix
sockets](http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2010-07/msg00145.html).
> Both will help getting more packages to compile and run in the Hurd.
>
Additionally Ludovic Courtès
> [fixed make
dist](http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2010-07/msg00098.html)

in console-client which allows easy tarball creation for uploading to
ftp.gnu.org.
> And dasht provided
> [some background on the Hurd and GNU
in general from a FSF hacker](http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1474941)
> while LWN posted a
> [well researched article on the status of the
Hurd](http://lwn.net/Articles/395150/).
Best wishes,
