[Savannah-register-public] [task #7218] Submission of hurdlx01

[Neal H. Walfield]

Follow-up Comment #7, task #7218 (project administration):

Michael Banck, the leader of the Debian GNU/Hurd port,
started a thread [1] a few days ago regarding the
LX1 installer and suggesting better integration with d-i.
Kiran responded [2] and indicated

  Parallel to the current installer we are also
  planning to import the current logic into the debian
  installer with the help of Philip and Praveen.
  Raghesh Sir is trying to port the hurd binaries with
  in the current debian installer.

It thus appears to me that the long term goal is not to
fork d-i but to merge changes upstream and develop
within the d-i framework.  As there is at least one Hurd
friendly person on the d-i team, I don't think integration
will be a problem.  Further, as the submitters are not the upstream
maintainers of the software and do not intend to
fork, it is unclear to me whether they have the right to
request that d-i become an official gnu project.

Thanks,
Neal
