Dr. Michael Love and assorted volunteers have ported several dozen
GNU programs to the Darwin and Mac OS X environments, as part of
the Gnu-Darwin (http://sourceforge.net/projects/gnu-darwin) project.

To expedite this work, Dr. Love has adapted the build system of the
FreeBSD Ports Collection (http://www.freebsd.org/ports).  This has
allowed the building of nearly 2000 packages for Darwin and Mac OS X
(http://www.ptf.com/tdc/pkg_list).  With the exception of language-
specific (e.g., Japanese) items, these packages comprise the bulk
of the 5000 items in the FreeBSD Ports Collection.

We are working on setting up a download site for the packages and a
CVS repository for the source code.  Meanwhile, a snapshot of the
results is available as a set of CD-ROMs (http://www.ptf.com/tdc).
