Status update
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!)
