A slightly changed version of OSF Mach has been imported into the CVS repository as gnu-osfmach. This will be adapted to use the OSKit instead of the original device drivers.
gnu-osfmig 0.01, the mig implementation that comes embedded into the sources
of the osfmk used to derive gnu-osfmk, has been released.
Now gnu-osfmig is a separate package, and you can build it with
the autotools.
You can download gnu-osfmig from the download area http://savannah.nongnu.org/download/hurdppc or make a checkout from the gnu-osfmig CVS module.
Note that this implementation of mig is specially prepared to work with
gnu-osfmk, and it do now work with gnumach. It might work with a convenient vanilla osfmk kernel, altought.
The project has been split on three different subprojects:
- oskit work
Porting the oskit to PPC. Some work on libkern is in progress.
- osfmk work
Prepare osfmk to work on modern ppc machines as the macintosh, and
for the integration with OSkit.
- hurd/glibc work
Prepare the Hurd to work on osfmk. Some work by Peter Bruin is
already available.
