My goal is to get git working and make a tardist of it and all dependencies it needs.
I managed to get git working, but I still need to compile "less" as I can see it being called from git for some functions so that is my next target. Also, the git install seems to be missing at least the man pages, so I need to look into that.

I created a github repository to help me build and package the software. It is at https://github.com/markhellegers/nekoports
I copied the idea from Haikuports (https://github.com/haikuports/haikuports) and wrote a Perl script to build and package the software (works with the version of Perl shipped with Irix 6.5.22).
So far, I only have one package (bash), but I intend to add more. I will then also need to expand the Perl script as I only added enough to the script to get bash to work.
