The above applies here as well, BUT, I wanted to know where this was being discussed. If pacman was ported to BSD, I've never seen, nor heard of, patches for it. This would be valuable information for us. Not only would it save us work, but Dan is doing this _right now_.
I just read the above on arch-dev-public.
A while ago, someone came on IRC while no one was around to report the status of getting pacman running on freebsd :
"got pacman to compile on libfetch and libdownload that are in FreeBSD 6.2 1. cut out with that damn bashism and linux non-posix crap 2. check the makefiles, they're full of bugs but all this du -cb and cp -a crap... and then the "source" syntax instead of "." and there's also chown root.root, which should be root:root, or even better 0:0"
I just noted it because I thought it could be interesting, but I don't know anything about this stuff. And I thought no one else cared. But if Dan is interested in doing this, I just thought he should know about the last 3 lines of this report. If that doesn't help at all, sorry, just ignore this mail :)

I've tried it some time ago, didn't get too far as I couldn't sort of be arsed too much ;-) But now that I see someone else's tried removing the linuxisms off of pacman's files, I might give it a go, time permits.
