Don't know aaa_base. I need a logrotate (or rotatelogs) packaged.

Have all those.

Don't know bin. I have man-db packaged.

We have binutils. I need man-pages packaged which is a variety of
miscellaneous man pages for Linux (like fifo.4, hosts.5, hier.7,
tzselect.8, etc.)

We have bison. I don't know module-init-tools.

Have all above (with pkgtools equivalent).

cxxlibs as separate package woudl be nice. I have portmap.

I have vixie-cron instead. I have procps.

I need devfsd. We have readline.

I don't know devs. I need reiserfsprogs done. I do have xfsprogs which
needs to be imported to pkgsrc-wip.

I have all these. (I imported shadow recently to pkgsrc-wip.)

I don't know elflibs. We have updatdb/locate in findutils.

I don't have an etc package yet (but most or everyting should be in other
packages). I don't have smartmontools.

We have those.

We have flex. I don't have syslinux.

I have not imported my glibc yet to pkgsrc-wip. We have rest (if you
include net/traceroute-as). Maybe I need another traceroute package. (How
did I forget that?)

I don't know utempter. My (not imported) glibc is one package, probably
should split up. I also have util-linux in pkgsrc-wip.

Have all these too. I need to import iptables to pkgsrc-wip. I recently
imported to pkgsrc-wip: yp-tools, ypbind-mt, and ypserv.

Oh ya ... I also have linux-kernel in my pkgsrc (need to import to
pokgsrc-wip). I also have a few others, including openoffice (for linux
build from source).

Just to add to that comment too -- see above.
