If I can once more stress the comparision with Debian, it's the
difference between dpkg-buildpackage and dpkg/apt-get. There are a lot
of things to solve on the *package* management level, porting apt-get
would be a start. But don't mix or confuse them with with *build* level
problems. To look over to Linux, that's why Gentoo is so fragile,
because it also doesn't have a clear separation and binary package
support in Gentoo sucks even compared to the BSDs.
So are you saying that we will be using pkgsrc as a framework for building
the binary packages, but the actual management of the build packages will
be done using a different, maybe mutated set of applications?
If I am understanding correctly, you are trying to separate the domain of
package building (which is where we use the pkgsrc framework) from package
management, right?
