We are so ---><---- close to a native development environment! The remaining bugs were detected and fixed, as far as I know. The only thing that is theoretically missing is /dev/random for _secure_ pgp signing of packages. I still have to do a rebuilt of dpkg and some other packages. Once this is done, I will do another tar file and declare the current system as our native development system. I built glibc yesterday, and will do some other packages today. Expect something in the next days. > I ask, because I'm happy to offer what help I can, but most of my time is > taken elsewhere. Once everything works in this area, I can upload hurd > packages.... Great! As I said, a few days and we can start distributing the load. In the first time, compiling some packages will take some work, because the rules files may have to be patched. Unfortunately, neither the dpkg nor the debian-policy maintainers have incorporated my dpkg-architecture proposal yet. We will just have to hope that the maintainers accept our patches nevertheless.
