Subject: pkgsrc project

Is it possible to create a pkgsrc project (its own project, not one in the
bazaar)?

I'm in the middle of the merge back to NetBSD to add QNX support to pkgsrc.
Hopefully this can become useful in their pkgsrc-2007Q3 drop.  I have a
number of packages built internally against their pkgsrc-2007Q2 tag but
things have moved along on their HEAD and help would be appreciated with the
update.

If such a project were created I guess I'd need to start by posting the
diffs against NetBSD's pkgsrc-2007Q2 and HEAD tags along with an archive
with the updated / missing utilities this whole process has uncovered so
that people could start building.

The issue I'm wrestling with currently is that the gnu m4 package has been
updated to 1.4.10 in the pkgsrc HEAD and they've brought in fpurge().
freading() from gnulib.

Regards,

I think this is a crucial project to have.  It becomes the enabler for a lot of other easy to compile programs and as 
such deserves the visibility and notice it will get as a stand alone project.

As an aside, I am dividing it projects into two categories.  Simple port it and be done projects - especially the ones 
which tend to "work" right out of the box, probably just belong in the bazaar.  Other projects, where there is more 
active QNX development, and QNX specific features which aren't in the main source line, probably deserve thier own 
project here.

I know the automated process isn't in place yet, but I think it is important that we demonstrate how we think this will 
work when it is in place.  This may mean a little more work for those at QSS, but I think it is a good thing (tm). ;-)
