Hurd on Mach on PowerPC - Summary
This group is not part of the GNU Project.
The goal of this project is to port the OSKit to the PowerPC, then change OSF Mach to use this, and to run the GNU Hurd on it. Currently, there is only a preliminary port of the Hurd to the version of OSF Mach on which MkLinux runs, but unfortunately this version of Mach only supports older PowerMacs. The OSKit will provide modern device drivers from Linux, and OSF Mach will use it in a way like GNUMach does.
Registration Date: Fri 20 Jun 2003 03:31:41 PM UTC
License: Other license - Both oskit and osfmk are free software. But we must see what kind of license is adequate for the patches.
Of course, we will license the patches with free software licenses (with GPL when possible).
Development Status: 2 - Pre-Alpha

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

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.
