These are just notes for developers on how to build the debian-hurd.img image.

They are *NOT* meant for users, the README file should be read instead.

TODO release: check that we use the patched apt-setup

- 4GiB disk size (not more, so that it can be unpacked in hurd's ext2fs)
- C locale, Europe/United Kingdom (to get UTC+0 timezone)
- user demo, password foo
- partition disk with swap first and / second (as primary partitions) to make it extensible easily
- mirror deb.debian.org (or snapshot for a release)
- standard task + ssh
- /etc/apt/sources.list:
  - drop CD image,
  - if snapshot (release):
    - turn http: into https: on all entries
    - check [check-valid-until=no trusted=yes] on all entries
    - fix deb-src snapshot for sid: debian-ports->debian
    - check deb snapshot for unreleased
  - if not snapshot:
    - check deb deb.debian.org/debian-ports sid main
    - check deb deb.debian.org/debian-ports unreleased main
    - fix deb-src deb.debian.org/debian sid main
- apt update
- apt install -o APT::Install-Recommends=false hurd-recommended bf-utf-source build-essential gdb emacs vim nano inetutils-ping xorg icewm sudo inetutils-tools psmisc fortune-mod fortunes
- apt remove whatever python3.11 that can be...
- apt clean
- symlink in /usr/bin inetutils-ifconfig ifconfig
- adduser demo sudo
- Add NOPASSWD: before last ALL in /etc/sudoers for %sudo
- drop root & demo passwd
- set
  Compression no 
  in /etc/ssh/sshd_config
- copy content of
  http://darnassus.sceen.net/~hurd-web/hurd/documentation/translator_primer/
  http://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/hurd/documentation/translator_primer
  in /root/translator_primer and /home/demo/
- set LANG to C.utf8 in /etc/default/locale
- cp /etc/motd.UTF8 /etc/motd
- in /etc/motd,


The Hurd is not Linux.  Make sure to read
https://www.debian.org/ports/hurd/hurd-install
to check out the few things you _need_ to know.
Also check out the FAQ
https://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/faq.html
or its latest version on
https://darnassus.sceen.net/~hurd-web/faq/

To read a short intro on some nice features of the Hurd, just have a look at
the translator_primer file, for example via 'nano translator_primer'


- update-rc.d exim4 disable
- enable Hurd console
- dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg-legacy
  to allow anybody to run the X server
- add basic xorg.conf for c-a-b (see https://www.debian.org/ports/hurd/hurd-install)
- possibly need to set a screen section with just an identifier and a display subsection containing virtual 1024 768, otherwise panning may happen
- check startx icewm and press ctrl-alt-backspace
- touch /ftp: /http:
- chown nobody:nogroup /ftp: /http:
- settrans  /ftp: /hurd/hostmux /hurd/ftpfs /
- settrans /http: /hurd/hostmux -H DOMAIN /hurd/httpfs http://DOMAIN/
- touch /home/demo/.fortune
- chown demo /home/demo/.fortune
- settrans /home/demo/.fortune /hurd/run /usr/games/fortune
- rm /var/lib/apt/lists/{snapshot,ftp,http,Debian,deb}*
- apt clean
- dpkg -P locales wamerican
- rm  /var/lib/dpkg/*-old
- force fsck by touching /forcefsck and rebooting, to fix any pending dtime cleanup
- and poke holes with mount image ; dd < /dev/zero > hugefile ; sync ; rm -f hugefile ; umount image ; cp --sparse=always image image2
- create a tarball with the -S option so the sparsity is preserved
