I actually have been watching that thread. I am intrigued by what you
are trying to do, but I think it's veering into the difficult to
maintain territory.
It's going a bit parallel to the discussion here and in fact you have
already offered some of the requirements,ie hosting
Would you be interested in incorporating the idea into what you are doing? I
could at least do some building of packages.
What specifically do you have in mind? A side project to the
FreeBSD pkg_add(1) tool or a separate collection of the Makefiles for
the ports tree?
One of the requirements is a new package management tool which I've called
ports-update. Does anyone here have C or scripting skills who would be
interested to write it? I'm sorry to ask, I know the FreeBSD way is to do it
yourself, but I don't have programming skills. I could probably knock up a
framework to start from though.
I have (very little) C skills -- I'm an OOP guy. I have less skill
with shell scripting. Either way, between ${REAL_JOB} and
${UNIVERSITY}, my free time is ... well... usually, not free.
If you are prepared to host a bunch of packages it would be interesting to
ask people to give us a list of their installed packages to create a master
list.
I'm more than happy to create space for this type of project, but keep
in mind -- the pkg_add(1) tool will grab binary builds of software
from the ports tree that is usually built with default options. What
about that one user that wants -DNO_NETHACK for sysutils/screen, or
the user (me) that has no need for IPv6 options enabled for most
things? This seems like an exact mirror of pkg_add(1) in how it
works, and IMHO would be impossible to keep a current (let alone
versioned) collection of packages with every possible compile-time
option.
Of course, unless I am misunderstanding your intentions.

openoffice.org-3.01 packages available (i386)
Inspired by the recent discussion on the list concerning openoffice.org-3.01 packages, I have created a set of packages for the i386 architecture using my tinderbox system. Glen Barber has kindly offered *lots* of his webspace to host these packages for everyone's benefit. These packages are available from the following location: http://freebsd.dev-urandom.com/packages/openoffice/ And the main package to download would be: http://freebsd.dev-urandom.com/packages/openoffice/openoffice.org-3.0.1.tbz All the other packages are build and/or run dependencies of the above. On a system that already has a running GUI, most (if not all) of these packages are probably installed already. Please note the following: * The openoffice.org-3.01 package was built using a tinderbox system running 7.1-RELEASE-p4 i386. The ports tree was updated before the build. As a result this package is in sync with the latest versions of its dependencies and you may have trouble installing / running it in systems with outdated packages. A portupgrade is recommended before installation. * All the dependencies are provided in the same directory. It is possible to use pkg_add -r to recursively fetch any dependencies not present in your system: - First, redefince the PACKAGESITE environment variable: (assuming csh) setenv PACKAGESITE http://freebsd.dev-urandom.com/packages/openoffice/ - Use pkg_add -r: pkg_add -r openoffice.org-3.0.1.tbz * The package and all dependencies were built with default options. The site does not yet contain any other pages or info, as Glen is still working on the web content. Please send us your feedback (including problems, suggestions and success stories!) either on the list or directly. If this proves to be successful, we could also build and host other packages as well.
