I'm new to Zenoss but like what I see, and really like the use of Python
and Zope.  But it's currently a bit painful to build on FreeBSD, as some
parts have Linux-oriented assumptions (e.g., hardwired /bin/bash path,
expectation of alloca.h), and I'm still experiencing core dumps in the
build I got running this weekend on FreeBSD-7.x.

(I'm also interested in running it in a FreeBSD jail, which adds some
complexity -- e.g., no raw socket access by default).

If I were to make a port of Zenoss Core, it would make my life easier in
the future, and hopefully others. Has anyone else started in this
direction?  Any progress? Any road-blocks?   I've not built a FreeBSD
port before but certainly used a lot and have a basic understanding.  

I've also done a bunch of zc.buildout work, if that's a different
approach which a port could exploit, instead of Makefiles.

At least this would be a good way for me to put my toe into the Zenoss
waters and contribute back something...
