We've just put together a minimal base system for porting Debian to the Netwinder. It's got enough capability that it can compile the base packages mostly. I thought it might be somewhat informative to post the list of packages here, as it would be a good starting goal to get these packages working on the Hurd as the first part of the bootstrapping process. Here goes: # dpkg -l Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge | Status=Not/Installed/Config-files/Unpacked/Failed-config/Half-installed |/ Err?=(none)/Hold/Reinst-required/X=both-problems (Status,Err: uppercase=bad) ||/ Name Version Description +++-===============-==============-============================================ ii adduser 3.8 Add users and groups to the system. ii autoconf 2.12-8 automatic configure script builder. ii automake 1.3-1 A tool for generating GNU Standards-complian ii base-files 2.0 Debian Base System Miscellaneous Files ii bash 0.0.0.1.corel.

Vi IMproved - enhanced vi editor Note that a lot of these packages are just the Corel supplied binaries copied into .deb files (I wrote some scripts to automate the process). Over the next days and weeks, we'll replace them with packages built from source. The gnu-0.2 distribution has most of the above binaries and data files already, so it shouldn't be too hard to get things going as above with just a few days of work. It would probably be more of a manual process, because the GNU binaries aren't in the same locations as where Debian puts them (on the NetWinder, things were pretty close). I tried to install gnu-0.2 over the weekend, and it failed miserably. When I get some more spare time, I'll do some more RTFM, and get back to y'all.
