If you are integrating it at your end, I can integrate the patch to hurd for the Debian package (a new Hurd package is overdue anyway). I have finished compiling a tar file of inetutils. I would like to upload them to alpha.gnu.org, but I can't connect (ftp just sits there). I will try to put them at master.debian.org, if you are impatient, get it from there (usual address: http://master.debian.org/~brinkmd/hurd/). Marcus -- "Rhubarb is no Egyptian god."
