Tommi and others, It sounds like Garrett and Will have FreeBSD packaging covered. I would like to start working on the Debian source packaging. Would you or others like to join in? However I would rather not duplicate work. It sounds like David Kimdon already has (as of a month ago) much of the work done somewhere. I would like to see this work checked into the present self-hosting svn repository and work from there. The Intent To Package (ITP) announcement made 200 days ago has a discussion attached to it. http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?archive=no\&bug=97234 As Karl mentioned, the packaging work can be productively done now in parallel with work on the main product. I think the dependencies that were discussed in the ITP are in much better shape now as Debian 3.0/woody is in the final stages of it's base package freeze.
