Since we've been going about on this one, I decided that I should post a listing of the current packages I know of, and their status. The list is in three parts:
1) Required packages (whether present or not) 2) Other packages in the current tarball 3) Packages which have been compiled, but aren't in #1 or #2 ----- Required Packages (per unstable i386) ----- base-files : Unknown base-passwd : Unknown bash : Compiled bsdutils : Unknown (oops; was working on bsdmainutils) debianutils : Unknown diff : Compiled dpkg : Untested (need patch) e2fsprogs : Replaced (?) fileutils : Compiled findutils : Compiled grep : Compiled gzip : Compiled hostname : Untested libc6 : Irrelevant (?) libcap1 : Irrelevant (?) libdb2 : In progress - not me (?) libdb3 : In progress - not me (?) libgdbmg1 : In progress - not me (?) libncurses5 : Compilation problems libpam0g : In progress - not me (?) libpam-modules : In progress - not me (?) libpam-runtime : In progress - not me (?) libperl5.6 : Needs netbase libreadline4 : Patched, bug submitted, waiting on devel fix libstdc++2.10 : Untested libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2 : Irrelevant (?) login : Untested makedev : Replaced (?) mawk : Compilation problems mbr : Unknown (Irrelevant?) modutils : Untested (Irrelevant?) mount : Replaced (?) ncurses-base : See libncurses5 ncurses-bin : See libncurses5 passwd : In progress - not me (?) perl-base : See libperl5.6 procps : Unknown sed : Compilation problems (cycles forever on dc test) shellutils : Need to teach it about netbsd-i386 slang1 : Patched, Bug submitted, waiting on devel fix sysvinit : Unknown tar : Needs rsh-client textutils : Compiled update : Unknown (Very probably irrelevant...) util-linux : Unknown (Irrelevant?) ----- Tarball files ----- Listed as Required? adduser : Unknown makedev-netbsd : No deb-src archive Listed as Important dpkg-dev : See dpkg ----- Other files (all compiled) ----- apt-localepurge, apt-show-source, apt-show-versions, bash-builtins, bash-doc, byacc, bzip2, cvs, cvs-buildpackage, debconf, debconf-doc, debconf-utils, debhelper, debiandoc-sgml, debmake, defoma, defoma-doc, dfontmgr, dh-make, dialog, diff-doc, docbook, docbook-to-man, docbook-utils, docbook-xml, ed, expat, file, gawk, gettext, gettext-base, gettext-doc, groff, groff-base, gsfonts, html2text, info, less, libbz2-1.0, libbz2-dev, libdigest-md5-perl, libexpat1, libexpat1-dev, libhtml-parser-perl, libhtml-tagset-perl, libhtml-tree-perl, libi18n-langtags-perl, libjpeg62, libjpeg62-dev, libjpeg-progs, liblcms, liblcms-dev, libltdl3, libltdl3-dev, libmime-base64-perl, libnet-perl, libpaperg, libpaperg-dev, libpng2, libpng2-dev, libpng3, libpng-dev, libsgmls-perl, libtext-format-perl, libtool, libtool-doc, libunicode0, libunicode-dev, libunicode-string-perl, liburi-perl, libwww0, libwww-dev, libxml2, libxml2-dev, localepurge, lynx, m4, m4-doc, manpages, manpages-dev, nvi, patch, psfontmgr, publib-dev, sgmls-doc, sgmlspl, symlinks, tetex-base, tetex-doc, tetex-extra, texinfo, tidy, zlib1g, zlib1g-dev, zlib-bin ----- Part 4 - suprise - things most needed by dependancies ----- tetex-bin xfree86 (LOTS of stuff wants the libraries...) python GNOME/GTK & derivatives tetex-bin mostly depends on xfree86 libs at this point (and flex, which has a bug filed). So... trying to get a library-packages-only X compile is looking fairly large on my horizon.
