Is HURD and related projects stuck?

Hi guys

I played with HURD few years ago. (2005).
By following the documentation I couln't get working HURD installation.
It simply halted during the boot of the system.
I concluded the software in the very early experimental stage, which
is not worth to spend time with. I simply gave up that time. After
years I would like to start my mini project based on HURD and I  would
like to know what is the status of the Project.   It looks like the
project is not evolving anymore. The latest version of HURD is 4 years
old. Is it because you want to achieve superior stability and quality
or just all gyus abandoned the project?
What is realease plan for the future?
At least you need to maintain the code to get compilable smoothly with
the newest compilers.

Bye

L4.sec

Hi,

I have read that L4.Sec might be a candidate for Hurd.

Does anyone know if L4.Sec is supposed to replace L4.Pistachio
and/or L4.Fiasco?

Will L4.Sec be a merged version of L4.Pistachio and L4.Faisco?

Thanks
Shams

L4.sec is developed in Dresden, while Pistachio was developed in
Karlsruhe.  The available draft document indicates that it is more of
a mini-revolution than an evolution of previous L4 architectures.
Although I am involved in none of the projects you reference, I would
expect that they will be continued in parallel for quite some time.

None of that.  It's a new project.  It's faithful to the L4 paradigm
of recursive address spaces, but different in many implementation
aspects due to different memory management and IPC security
facilities.

Thanks,
Marcus
