Unless you understand our struggles against our industrial rivals and the Third World, US foreign policy appears to be a series of random errors, inconsistencies, and confusions. Actually, our leaders have succeeded rather well at their assigned chores, within the limits of feasibility. NCSee the chronology, by no means exhaustive (and not always strictly on-topic), which I'm accumulating.
Something I'll put up here right now is my NetBSD pkgsrc for building rosegarden-2.1p3 (for others see my friend Kwantus).
Apply standard warnings about running as root scripts from strangers. Look 'em over carefully that I'm not trying to Trojan you. (This is where the simplest, smallest pkgs are the best. `Complexity is the worst enemy of security, and systems that are loaded with features, capabilities, and options are much less secure than simple systems that do a few things reliably.' [Bruce Schneier & Adam Shostack])
If you can tart these up so they pass, go ahead; I got bigger worries :) X X
