The following reply was made to PR ports/179321; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Jason Bacon <jwbacon@tds.net> To: bug-followup@FreeBSD.org, h-fujishima@sakura.ad.jp Cc: Subject: Re: ports/179321: New port: sysutils/storcli SAS MegaRAID FreeBSD StorCLI Date: Fri, 07 Feb 2014 07:47:45 -0600 Heads-up: Support for StorCli is going to be a bit complicated. First, there are two separate but overlapping StorCli branches; "MR" for standard MegaRAID and "NMR" for Nytro MegaRAID products. Also, the latest versions seem to have dropped support for some chipsets, even though the supported hardware lists only show new ones added. Maybe these are just bugs that should be reported to LSI. For our Dell PERC H700, the MR v1.02.08 works best and NMR 1.01.75 works partially. Later versions don't work at all. Following the examples from PRs 179321 and 184922, I made separate ports for all currently available versions of StorCli. They're available in the work-in-progress ports collection, see http://sourceforge.net/p/freebsdwip/wiki/Home/. Note that LSI has made a lot of changes to the naming conventions and directory structure of the distfiles, so the ports differ by a lot more than just PORTVERSION. Note also that x11/nvidia-driver deals with the same version/chipset support issues. It might be worth looking at how they handle it. Regards, Jason
