Hi folks,

Sorry for my very long silence. I had to deal with some GSoC problems,
especially with the fact that my mentor gave up. I've got a new mentor now,
which is Luca Bartodo. Thanks to him for helping me!

It's been hard to remotivate myself working on the project: I've to admit I've
lost 1 week, stuck between waiting Davide's come back, asking myself a lot
of questions I had to ask to Davide, and, tons of problems related to my
project.

I've coded a very last ebuild to emerge /usr/share/ NetBSD directory content (I
needed it due to make rules which weren't installed, mk directory). I've also
made some
polishing to my ebuilds, and removed useless directories (like
/usr/share/man/html[1-9]). Read comments to check what I've done.

I'm currently creating the stage tarball. Here are the ebuilds which are
installed inside my ROOT directory:
http://projects.boulz.org/trac/gentoo-nbsd/attachment/wiki/WikiStart/netbsd-ROOT.txt

Of course, there are missing ebuilds. I'm currently facing PAM problems. I
remember Johan Hattne sending me an email about PAM patches especially for
NetBSD. Johan, if you read me, your help would be much appreciated !

Another problem I face is Kerberos libraries compilation. It fails to compile
with this error:
http://pastebin.org/8892

I also have to change two ./configure args which are "--without-et" and
"--without-ss" to pass configure script. According to ./configure help:
--with-system-et  use system compile_et and -lcom_err [default: build and
install a local version]
--with-system-ss  use system -lss and mk_cmds [private version]

I'd like to know how did Gentoo/FreeBSD managed with Kerberos librairies ? Even
by reading ebuilds, I can't really understand. Some help would be appreciated.

And finaly: no, I haven't boot my stage yet. I'll do so after resolving every
problems in order to have something usable. Currently, when I chroot in my ROOT
directory, I can use emerge, equery, .. and every other tools to manage
packages. Let's see:
