Hi Svante and all on the Debian bug tracker, Thanks for the patch to make it build on Debian GNU/Hurd!
I read through the HURD porting guidelines < https://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/hurd/porting/guidelines.html> and I agree that the patch is reasonable. Eduardo -- I've made two small changes to Svante's patches, and I've just uploaded that to Debian now. If the GNU Hurd build daemons like this package, I'd love if you can take the two patches. You can find them here: http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/collab-maint/alpine.git/tree/debian/patches/10_hurd_build.patch http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/collab-maint/alpine.git/tree/debian/patches/10_hurd_build_continued.patch Thanks! I'll try to send you a separate email once we've confirmed the patches actually work, but I wanted to send you this heads-up as soon as I could. -- Asheesh.
