contrib repo porting list
From Genunix
The following table is used by the Software Porters Community to track the contrib repo packages including, "what packages are integrated", "who is doing the port" and "which packages need porting". Developers can use the table to indicate which packages they are porting, and anyone can put their favorite package on the list and use "please port" in the status to indicate anyone can do the port. In addition to the packages already included in the table below, packages in the original pending repo can be ported. Email the Package Factory Team if you want to port one of the pending packages. If you have any questions about the table, please contact the Software Porters Community. Here is the list of packages Sun engineers are planning to port into the dev repo via an OpenSolaris consolidation. Normally these packages should be avoided so you don't duplicate work in progress.
Column Definitions
