The following packages have to be ported to NetBSD so that we can build up a base system: adduser - Add users and groups to the system ae - Anthony's Editor -- a tiny full-screen editor apt - Advanced front-end for dpkg base-files - Debian base system miscellaneous files base-passwd - Debian base system password/group files bash - The GNU Bourne Again Shell bsdutils - Basic utilities from 4.4BSD-Lite console-tools - Console and font utilities * console-tools-libs - Shared libraries for Linux console and font manipulation * debianutils - Miscellaneous utilities specific to Debian diff - File comparison utilities dpkg - Package maintenance system for Debian dpkg-ftp - Ftp method for dselect dpkg-mountable - Enhanced access method for dselect dpkg-multicd - Installation method for multiple binary CDs e2fsprogs - The EXT2 file system utilities and libraries * elvis-tiny - Tiny vi compatible editor for the base system fdflush - A disk-flushing program * fileutils - GNU file management utilities findutils - utilities for finding files -- find, xargs and locate gettext-base - GNU Internationalization utilities for the base system grep - GNU grep, egrep and fgrep grub - GNU Grand Unified Bootloader gzip - The GNU compression utility hostname - A utility to set/show the host name isapnptools - ISA PNP configuration utilities * kernel-headers - Header files related to the kernel * kernel-image - Kernel binary image * ldso - Linux dynamic linker, library and utilities * libc6 - GNU C Library: Shared libraries and timezone data * libgdbmg1 - GNU dbm database routines libncurses5 - Shared libraries for terminal handling libnet-perl - Implementation of internet protocols for Perl libnewt0 - Not Erik's Windowing Toolkit -- text mode windowing libpam-modules - PAM modules libpam-runtime - Runtime support for the PAM library libpam0g - PAM library libreadline4 - GNU readline and history libraries libstdc++ - GNU stdc++ library libwrap0 - Wietse Venema's TCP wrappers library lilo - Linux loader * login - System login tools * makedev - Creates special files in /dev mawk - a pattern scanning and text processing language mbr - Master Boot Record for IBM-PC compatible computers * modconf - Device driver configuration modutils - Linux module utilities mount - Tools for mounting filesystems ncurses-base - Description of common terminal types ncurses-bin - Terminal-related programs and man pages netbase - Basic TCP/IP networking binaries passwd - Change and administer password and group data perl-base - the Perl interpreter ppp - PPP daemon pppconfig - utility for configuring ppp procps - The /proc file system utilities sed - The GNU sed stream editor setserial - Controls configuration of serial ports shellutils - The GNU shell programming utilities slang1 - The S-Lang programming library sysklogd - Kernel and system logging daemons syslinux - Bootloader for Linux/i386 using MS-DOS floppies sysvinit - System-V like init tar - GNU tar tasksel - New task packages selector tcpd - Wietse Venama's TCP wrapper utilities textutils - the GNU text file processing utilities update - daemon to periodically flush filesystem buffers util-linux - Miscellaneous system utilities * whiptail - Displays user-friendly dialog boxen from shell scripts The packages marked with a * are either going to be removed or heavily modified for sure so that they can be used under BSD. That's quite a lot, but many of these utilites have already been ported. I think everybody who wants to port a package writes an email and I will mark on a list that this package is currently being ported. When finished, we should upload all the packages to some FTP server [are we going to get FTP space from Debian? if not, use sf.net].
