It's highly questionable if the Hurd package should install an rc file at all. This is a relict from the time where the Hurd used to include everything for a mini-distribution. We have done steps away from it, and will continue to do so.
I think that they should be included in the Hurd atleast, but not installed by default. Quite often these files are needed for making a sub-hurd, and I would really be pissed if I couldn't make one quickly without some basic startup scripts. In short, I do think that the Hurd should provide a mini-distribution, because that is what is needed for a sub-hurd. Or atleast some kind of a hack that makes the creation of sub-hurd's easier, if such things as rc files are not provided in the Hurd. _______________________________________________ Bug-hurd mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-hurd
