Re: apt-cdrom patch -- testers wanted

Yes, that's good for all except for me. I wasted my whole weekend making a
patch for apt, thinking that nobody was working on this thing. I figured out
that if nobody aswered my email asking for someone working on apt's patch, then
I might work alone on this.

Yes, I saw it. The patch I did is more simple (sorry, I can't send it as an
attachment due to an unknown reason):

In order to use this patch, you must apply to init.cc, compile, copy binaries
from apt/bin to /bin, and copy libraries:
cp libapt-pkg-libc6.2-NEEDED /lib/libapt-pkg-libc6.2-2.10.0.so.3.1

If someone thinks my patch is useful, I'll put binaries in my homepage.

I installed some pakages in my hurd and all went fine, there was no need for
configuration files for apt-cdrom and dselect.

In order to work with my patch, you must have /dev/cdrom linked to real cdrom
device file.

I didn't make a test about bogus settings with my patch; again, if somebody
thinks my patch is useful, I'll do more test.
