(www.openpackages.org) I think the idea is to produce packages for all BSDs, basically a cross-BSD ports/packages system. Anyone from the FreeBSD ports working on it? Haven't explored it much, but seems they're just beginning. A great idea. BTW, Jordan Hubbard is one of the organizers, and Apple is sponsoring it, among others.
