I figured that I should give a status update as far as package building goes:
My Hurd builder is tracking the following packages: ae bzip2 gcc-2.95 libgmp3 mutt tcp-wrappers anacron cpio gcc-defaults libsigc++ ncurses textutils apt cron gengameng linuxdoc-tools nethack vgrind aptitude debianutils gperf logrotate nvi wget astyle dialog grap makepasswd perl wmaker at diff groff man-db plotutils xpuyopuyo base-files ed hostname mawk pwgen zip base-passwd elvis-tiny jade members screen binutils findutils jed menu sed blackbox freetype jgroff most sp burgertime gawk joe mp3info tar Of these, the following won't currently compile: apt, freetype, mutt, mp3info, binutils, gawk, jed, findutils, elvis-tiny The problems: apt: A source bug appeared after 0.5.0 - I have some details freetype: Downloading error (I think) This will probably compile next time mutt: Wants libsasl mp3info: wants gtk binutils: Crashes the Hurd mid-compile gawk: Makefile bug jed: Depends on latex2html, which isn't installable findutils: Source failure elvis-tiny: Needs termio.h, which libc6-dev provides but libc0.2-dev doesn't If there is are Debian packages that *compiles cleanly* that you want, please let me know. I don't have the time to chase source bugs right now, but if something is buildable, I will keep it up to date. If you're interested in helping me get some of these to compile, let me know - I'd like to avoid duplication of effort (I cheerfully will let other people do any of the work they want to!) -- My UUism extends beyond national boundaries.
