[owl-users] Failed to build packages from pkgsrc

I sure do understand why somebody uses a system like pkgsrc, but I have no idea why someone would still use cvs. Also source based package "control" is kind of hard to maintain when you have lots of servers to handle. Could we add support for .deb-packages?

I have been following these guides since I usually don't install any packages to my Owl-systems:

http://openwall.info/wiki/Owl/packages
http://openwall.info/wiki/Owl/pkgsrc

Few open questions:

1) Why on earth does Owl still lists "Fedora Core 3 and 4"?
2) Where to report problems from pkgsrc?

I was building wget to get environment for my girlfriend working (yes not a joke). I received this error message while building wget:

Do you have any information if this is mistake done by me or in pkgsrc?

I also received errors while installing other packages. I basicly have the default configuration-files. Where the error could be? If pkgsrc shouldn't be used please tell me, which solution I should choose. For example another error with python27:

"""

pkg_create: can't stat `/usr/pkgsrc/lang/python27/work/.destdir//bin/pydoc2.7'
pkg_create: can't stat `/usr/pkgsrc/lang/python27/work/.destdir//bin/smtpd2.7.py'
"""

At least I got irssi built. I can provide more information if you can tell me what I need to provide :) I am using the OpenVZ images.
