- - libkvm (freebsd-libs) is ported badly.  It still has some dummy stubs that

  - xterm fails to run because it's using unsupported ioctls.
 
  - Package Glibc for the FreeBSD ports collection (this will help integrating

  - It'd help if we had a Debian package of ossalsalib (aka libsalsa).  This
    library emulates alsa's libasound so that applications written for alsa can
