I just know from experience that some communities are not as willing to provide source to newcomers as others even when it is open-source and for understandable reasons. The comment is in no way a reflection of what i think about your willingness to help, and i am very appreciative of the help given. I honestly had the feeling people may not know as it is 10 years or more ago. Thank you. One last question and excuse me for my lack of knowledge in this, but with such limited resources from the Debian GNU/NetBSD project, how much of the current GNU userland tools (i.e. glibc etc) are transferable across without modification to persay the NetBSD kernel?

However, as Steven said in a later post in this thread most of use barely know more than you do on that case. The kNetBSD project was dead long before most of us joined Debian. -- with kind regards, Arno Töll IRC: daemonkeeper on Freenode/OFTC GnuPG Key-ID: 0x9D80F36D I've got limited experience here, but my reason for looking for the glibc port was just that porting glibc is a hardcore thing to do. So you better pray you won't have to do that.

It would be nice to be able to dig this up, but it's actually kind of strange how few traces of it can still be found online. It seems like bandwidth, FTP space and source code repositories were still relatively scarce 10 years ago. IIRC the final death for Debian GNU/NetBSD and Debian GNU/FreeBSD (without k) was a fire in combination with no backup: http://web.archive.org/web/20110728174822/http://www.debian.org/ports/freebsd/bsd-libc-based (Citing from there: There were packages available but the public copy is no longer available due to a server lost in fire. Due to this and some other unfortunate circumstances, the progress on the port is presently stalled.) See also http://www.debian.org/News/2002/20021122 Guessing from other sources on the net, it seems that the GNU/NetBSD and Debian GNU/FreeBSD (without k) projects had a lot in common, so this probably also explains the lack of code and other traces on the net for Debian GNU/NetBSD.

Re: kfreebsd buildd
Just to add more information, the opendnssec build is failing due doxygen builds (and blocking the transition to testing). https://buildd.debian.org/status/logs.php?arch=kfreebsd-i386pkg=opendnssecver=1%3A1.3.9-4 It was successfully built before and there's no -3 to -4 related change which should make the doxygen to fail.
