Debian GNU/Hurd 2025 released

Summary

Debian GNU/Hurd 2025 released! It is with huge pleasure that the Debian GNU/Hurd team announces the release of Debian GNU/Hurd 2025. This is a snapshot of Debian "sid" at the time of the stable Debian "Trixie" release (August 2025), so it is mostly based on the same sources. It is not an official Debian release, but it is an official Debian GNU/Hurd port release. The installation ISO images can be downloaded from https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/ports/13.0/hurd-i386/ or https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/ports/13.0/hurd-amd64/ in the NETINST Debian flavor. Besides the friendly Debian installer, a pre-installed disk image is also available, making it even easier to try Debian GNU/Hurd. The easiest way to run it is inside a VM such as qemu: https://www.debian.org/ports/hurd/hurd-install Debian GNU/Hurd is currently available for the i386 and amd64 architectures with about 72% of the Debian archive, and more to come! * 64bit support is now complete, with the same archive coverage as i386 (actually a bit more since some packages are 64b-only) * This 64b support is completely using userland disk drivers from NetBSD thanks to the Rump layer. * We now use xattr by default for recording translators, allowing to bootstrap seamlessly from other OSes, with mmdebstrap for instance * Rust was ported to GNU/Hurd. * Support for USB disk and CD-ROM was added through Rump * Packages are now available for SMP support, which is quite working * The console is now using xkb for keyboard layouts, and supports multiboot-provided framebuffer * Various other support were added (acpi, rtc, apic, hpet, ...) * Some documentation improvement was achieved * Various fixes have been included (irqs, nfsv3, libports, pipes corner cases, ...)
