Hi, I'm David Forsythe, 3rd year student at the University of Maryland, College Park. For SoC2008 I worked on added parallel build support and database locks to ports. I've been using FreeBSD for a while, and have taken particular interest in ports and packages. This summer I'll be working on creating a package library and using that library to rewrite the pkg tools. A package library has been discussed and even started before, but FreeBSD still does not have one. This summer I'd like to get enough of the library done to atleast have a new set of pkg tools completed with the current features, but ideally I'd like to get far enough to splice in some of the ideas I have for new features.
