dbf2mysql imports dbf (FoxPro, dBase, etc) table structure and content to mysql. Last version seems to be mantained at debian by frankie@debian.org Previous version is dbf2mysql-1.14 and source code can be grabbed from the mysql site at this URL: http://www.mysql.com/get/Downloads/Contrib/dbf2mysql-1.14.tar.gz/from/pick The debian version seems to fix a couple of problems with the previous one.
Created attachment 53657 [details] dbf2mysql-1.14.ebuild This is not from the debian sources but straight from the mysql page.

mysql team is not interested, dropping from cc
upstream source ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/d/dbf2mysql/ This package has been abandoned several times. Written by Maarten Boekhold in 1995 then, patched by Michael Widenius in 1996, updated by wilane in 2001 adding a mysql2dbf side of the package bringing it up to ver 1.14 and has seen no updates since. The ebuild has a depend of mysql-4 which is incorrect. This package requires libc and libmysqlclient per debian. https://packages.debian.org/wheezy/dbf2mysql https://packages.debian.org/source/wheezy/dbf2mysql mysql-4(no longer in Portage Tree) was not as strict as the current mysql-5. it is unknown if this package is compatible with current stricter mysql-5.
