Hi, I uploaded the new gnumach 19990116, it is already installed in the archive. It is much better than the previous version, for example, the mysterious IRQ errors at boot time do not appear any more :) I also added kmsg, so syslog can provide some useful functionality in the future (similar to syslogd/klogd under Linux).
I also uploaded slang1 and ae, the missing base packages (got that, Matthew? :). Do NOT use slang 1.2.2-2, it is broken (yeah, a hardcoded "gcc" in the configure script screwed me). I have not tested slang 1.2.2-2.1, but it is at least linked to the correct libc :) It is likely that my upload of ae gets rejected. If this is the case, I'll rebuild with a higher version number. Please be patient, it's a crappy DOS style editor anyway. Have I uploaded more? No. I tried to compile fortune (I was bored and wanted something funny), but it only says that the database is corrupted. Seems to be a problem with accessing the files, I will investigate. It's priority high. I need my fortunes :P I also tried to compile lynx, which was a complete failure. Compilation of the main routine used up all my memory (48 MB+ 120 MB swap). I don't believe that this is correct. Another thing to investigate. Here is a bonbon for you: If you want some motivation (or depression), take a look at: http://quinn-diff.nocrew.org/qd-output/unstable/by_priority_split-hurd-i386.txt http://quinn-diff.nocrew.org/qd-output/unstable/by_section-hurd-i386/ and parent web sites. Thanks to James Troup for this service. I will work on the arch specific file later (this means, that non-hurd packages will not appear in the list) Marcus -- "Rhubarb is no Egyptian god."
