Ok, you can find it at http://master.debian.org/~dexter/
I've made a complete environment for developers (gcc, binutils, dpkg,
native libraries) so preparing new packages should be easy.

All my sources have '.0.1' postfix in version number. Some of the packages
are based on slink and have the same *.orig.tar.gz but differend
*.diff.gz.

Yes, libc3 in native FreeBSd libc. But I've noticed GNU HURD had
a libc0 package, so it shouldn't be too confusing. It is possible
to rename it i.e. to libc3-freebsd.

I didn't make any networking package. It is too early for this project.
More important is i.e. base-passwd package, but FreeBSD have completly
different passwd system...
