How should I do? I think gnupg compiles just fine out of the box (I will attempt to do so right now), however, we don't have a /dev/random. There is some /dev/random server using esd on the web (please do a web search). I have a slightly different idea how to do random on the Hurd, and I will work on this in the near future, after getting the Debian dist back into shape. But if I understood Werner correctly, gnupg can also gather some random by itself, so it might run without /dev/random as well. > At present I succeeded in building jtex-bin, xdvik-ja, vflib2 > nkf, dvi2tty.

I am positively surprised that more people are porting packages right now. Jeff, can you both agree on who does tetex? Note that if there is a Dependency with a version number on a package that is only Provided on the Hurd, we will get an error from apt/dpkg. We can work around this with dummy packages, let us know the exact details, and I will upload a dummy package to alpha.gnu.org. > And one request.

Ah, mmh. Please check out if the problem would be solved by X 4.0 in the Debian archive proper. I plan to do an X upgrade next week (this time properly).
