bind
I have bind here, please someone grab it and make a package from this
initial port, the server needs more testing:

coreutils
mailx
ping
sendmail
screen
In some cases we have packages which offer similar-but-not-identical behavior
but in some cases (ping, screen) we don't have anything close, AFAIK.
I'm sure that there must be other packages that are missing. Can anyone add
to the above list? Are we missing any standard development packages, for
instance?
devel:
any haskell compiler
atlas
adns
ares
aalib
blas
beecrypt
cblas
cln
c-ares
dmalloc
edit / editline / libedit
gc
gnutls
icu
jikes
kaffe
lapack
lua
libtasn1
libffi standalone
libtar
mysql
mozilla
nettle
ntl
pathan
pm3
raptor / redland
smalleiffel
stlport
source-navigator;)
sdl
sqlite
slatec
slang
sablotron
xalan
yasm (nasm successor)
more audio stuff
more video stuff
$ hello
bash: hello: command not found
You can probably see where I'm going with this. I'd like to see if there
are any volunteers to offer and support these packages. Any of the above
is guaranteed to make it into the distribution as long as the packaging
is ok.
