If it would help, I can spend some time downloading some of the source
packages of the packages which still need to be ported. Are there any
maintainers specifically who are really busy and would maybe like some help
here?
Let me know if I can help in anyway, i.e. specific packages which need to be
ported or any of those old sources which someone would like converted to the
new source format.
