I had a small snag building packages, and I tracked it down to clock skew between my Linux partition and my Hurd partition. So, on alpha you'll now find 'ntp' and 'ntpdate'. I have placed these on alpha, because there were source modifications required to make it work. I have filed 2 bugs: 90969 (configure.in wants non-existant autoconf), and 90974 (Patches required for compiling on hurd-i386).
When these have been taken care of, I will build them at place this in the main archive. There is a small snag: After I reboot, it appears to set my Hardware clock to sometime in 1998. (FYI!) This, however, has fallen into the "don't know, don't care" category, and someone else is welcome to troubleshoot that problem. =) In other news, Marcus put alot of work in the last couple of days into the autobuilder, one of the most noticable changes is that the web pages show *alot* more information at a glance. If you're looking to do some hacking and aren't sure where to start, http://people.debian.org/~jbailey/turtle/ is an excellent place to look for packages to port. If you don't see something you like on there, check back in a few days, as I'm slowly adding packes to the system. Tks, Jeff Bailey
