I do know some lunatic has created a perl script to turn Debian's package management infrastructure into a ports tree, but I imagine that would be somewhat unwieldy. It's a damn cool idea though - I love the ports tree system, if only keeping it up to date was a bit less hacky. Time for some perl magic and the freshmeat DB? -Thom

Does anyone know of a BSD-ish ports tree being developed for Linux? Either currently, or a project in the past? Is it worthwhile, or does a suitably structured source directory and some discipline make it irrelevant?
