The debian packages would need work to build cleanly on the bsd libc. Often helper programms like configure, automake and libtool are not working as expected. It means a lot of work and time and hard feelings (do never underestimate the social side!) to break a lot of peoples packages and keep them working. Please consider the entrence we make when beaking every package around and demanding submission^Wcooperation from people. on the other hand debian is known to try to be correct. if the bsd libc fits the bill and there is a solid base, why not wrack it all and start over again with bsd libc? Please note that the debian openbsd system will use the native system tools and libs for security reasons, for a (long) start. I will however try to use the big packages like perl, apache, MTA etc from debian, since they are not really audited in openbsd anyway and the packages provided in debian are of higher quality then i could hope to achive on my own. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
