Hello,

I'm a happy [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wikiDragonFly_BSD]DragonFly BSD[/url] user and want to use UADE. Because of dfbsd uses [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pkgsrc]pkgsrc[/url] (and I love it) and not like to do own compiling, it could be pretty nice if doing a pkgsrc package.

Here is a interesting page for info: http://pkgsrc-wip.sourceforge.net

Please consider it, pkgsrc is multiplatform supported by a lot of unixes (linux, bsd flavours, solaris, IRIX, HURD...).

Regards.

We are all for supporting DBSD as a compilation target, but distributions must create packages by themselves. It's really not our job. If a package source for uade is created for DBSD, then I hope the other package source users will take the fruit and not reinvent it.

We are of course willing to answer any non-distribution related question to help creating such packages.

You are wrong, dfbsd not uses a specific port system, it uses the multiplatform system pkgsrc. I don't know how to create packages for pkgsrc, said them a few times but ignoring my suggestion (probably because they only port the stuff they are interested).

I did understand it is multiplatform, but it still isn't our effort. There must be a milliard multiplatform packaging systems out there.

I am unaware of any DBSD users (even you are anonymous) and so I can not point to any people who might help you. I suggest you learn to port or find some interested and skilled person.
