The only problem for writing a port for ncplib is that it requires /usr/src/sys directory for build. This can be avoided by including pregenerated versions of vnode_if.* files. They are depended from FreeBSD version and can be changed in future. So there is no easy way to build these files. If the templates /sys/kern/vnode_if.* will be copied to /usr/share/somewhere it will be very simple to write a port. Another problem is lack of ability to build a package, because kernel module should be builded in native environment. However if the port will check /usr/src/sys directory and complain if it's not found it will be possible to create package-less port. -- Boris Popov http://www.butya.kz/~bp/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-net" in the body of the message
