[Porting] Packages needed by DSA

[Aurelien Jarno]

Hi all,

If you want to start to do porting work, here is the list of packages
that we need asap (they are needed by DSA):
- timeout
- moreutils
- lsof
- nagios-plugins-basic

Regards,
Aurelien

Note that timeout has been superceded by a new implementation from coreutils
in unstable;  in fact the package is not installable anymore (since coreutils
conflicts with it).

  The DRM opt-in fallacy: "Your data belongs to us. We will decide when (and
  how) you may access your data; but nobody's threatening your freedom: we
  still allow you to remove your data and not access it at all."

Replaced by current coreutils.

Do they need all the utilities ?
The only problematic one is ifdata,
the parallel is easily fixable, the rest build fine:

The recent upstream have some support for FreeBSD.

In fact it is already built, but it depends on iputils-ping.
Would any ping suffice or is really the one from iputils-ping needed ?
