nss_ldap and openldap importing

[Erik Nørgaard]

Sorry, please accept my apologies and move on :-) I usually just follow
this list, but since Doug brought down this path...

I don't know, but separating things out could both fragment the project
and make things progress faster.

So, my thought was: How about a "base-ports"? A "base-port" should be a
software package entirely maintained by the FreeBSD team but kept
outside the base system, and must be under a BSD compatible licence?

My list would be, basically what can be disabled in make.conf, and some
new ones: GAMES, LPR, NIS, SENDMAIL, BIND, DCHP (server), LDAP

Please don't flame me - I know that such a list would be eternally
disputed...

Cheers, Erik
