I've just created merge request number 6 [1] at salsa with my attempt
at porting OpenNTPd to Hurd. It should build now on hurd-amd64 at least.
What I did:
* modified the build system to recognize GNU as a target OS.
* replaced IOV_MAX with a reallocating array.
* copy over the DARWIN (OS X) "implementation" of adjfreq to be
used for GNU (I need to fix comments, it can be done after review)
What I couldn't do:
* test the build program. I'm not sure how to do that
* make the debian patch to be named as I wanted (port-hurd.patch)
* prevent `gbp pq export` from touching every single patch file in
the debian/patches directory :/
I think that's all. Let me know what you think!
Regards,
Diego
