Btw, you said earlier that you had managed to port some older release. Upstream clearly indicated that he'd take that if you have it on hand. Martin-Éric

Re: dhcpcd: FTBFS on Hurd
I am currently daily driving a GNU/Hurd Debian machine on a T43. I am not especially a great coder, but I am happy to test to see if your code builds and or runs. Can I get a link to your code? Or are you just trying to build the latest dhcpcd from source? Also what is FTBFS? Also may I ask why Debian is switching to dhcpcd? Just curious. Thanks, Joshua -- Joshua Branson Sent from the Hurd (and Gnus)
Re: dhcpcd: FTBFS on Hurd
Hey Joan, Can you coordinate with Svante? He had apparently managed to port an older version, but somehow never got around submitting his diff to upstream. Upstream already indicated that he would welcome a diff, even if it's against an older release. Thanks!

I'll just point out that, if you haven't done so already, you can easily get GNU/Hurd running in a VM and work on your port in there. I've done so recently to fix the decade+ long FTBFS streak for libvirt and it was quite painless. Despite the different kernel, it *is* still a Debian system in the end, so most of your existing knowledge transfers over perfectly. Thank you for your efforts!

Hi Martin-Éric, you can write me for help when you need it.

Most of this has merely required fixing missing includes so far. Help is welcome, especially from people who have access to a live Hurd host and who would be able to test the binaries, and also to help me finalize the port. Cheers! Martin-Éric
