I know a lot of package maintainers are willing to help the Hurd port, but it's made impossible by small group of people who don't want to cooperate. And if you say something about it, it's always your fault and not theirs, because they think that they are holy and don't make mistakes, you are just a fool wasting their time. And that is just the way the Hurd port is treated in Debian. Jeroen Dekkers -- Jabber ID: jdekkers@jabber.org IRC ID: jeroen@openprojects GNU supporter - http://www.gnu.org
