   64-bit (x86_64) support for the Hurd is now available in Guix! You can read about the puzzles that needed to be solved to get there in @janneke's blog post https://guix.gnu.org/en/blog/2026/the-64-bit-hurd/

     @skyfaller @apteryx
     It is not clear to me how LLMs were used to do what, on which project. I heard something about gnumach, and I have seen some email conversation and I'm also not sure if other projects were involved.

     In any case, Guix is just the packager and this blog post is, I believe, mainly about the enormous efforts that were done the past 15 months in Guix. Of course we also mention work done upstream during this period.

     I would appreciate it if you could take any questions or insights you may have about upstream Hurd project work or upstream Hurd project policies, and address them to the upstream Hurd project.

     Also, for a free software project it is not always helpful to ask questions from the sideline and move along, it is often much more appreciated if you match any questions with services or work that you are willing to offer.

     @apteryx @janneke Seems this Hurd release also introduces slop coded by Claude: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2026-02/msg00133.html

     Hard to celebrate.
