I offered my assistance, boxes to do the work on, they (Debian) even setup a mailing list (debian-bsd) I believe, and I worked up a set of patches to get dpkg to compile on a FreeBSD box. But it seems interest has fallen off since the mailing list doesn't seem to work anymore (or didn't for a peroid of time immediately following one of my posts several months ago). -steve To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
