https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D246784 Bug ID: 246784 Summary: New port: comms/opencbm: Commodore CBM serial IEC/IEEE-488 bus utilities Product: Ports & Packages Version: Latest Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Only Me Priority: --- Component: Individual Port(s) Assignee: ports-bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: felix@palmen-it.de Created attachment 214923 --> https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=3D214923&action= =3Dedit add comms/opencbm, comms/opencbm-kmod and comms/opencbm-plugin-xa1541 "The OpenCBM package contains user space support programs and development libraries to control and use CBM serial IEC/IEEE-488 bus devices as used by most Commodore (CBM) 8-bit machines." With these ports, you can use an old 8-bit Commodore floppy drive on the PC, connected either to the parallel port or to USB (several cable types are supported). Main category is "comms", because the main feature is implementing the old = bus protocols for talking to the drives. Also added category "archivers" because older upstream versions included a FreeBSD port in with this category and as the tools can be used to archive old floppy disks, and the image formats ar= e a sort of archive, this IMHO matches as well. There are two slave ports because for parallel-port cables, a kernel module= is needed, and the plugin for using these cables depends on the kmod port. This avoids the binary package of opencbm itself to pull in a kernel module that users of USB cables won't need. I added a FreeBSD manpage for the kernel mo= dule to the kmod port. Tests passed: - poudriere testport with default options on {11.3,12.1,13}/{i386,amd64} - poudriere testport with all options combinations on 12.1/amd64 - correct operation using an XMP-1541 parallel-port cable and a C-1541 flop= py drive verified on 12.1/amd64. I can't test functionality of USB cables as= I don't own one. Disclaimer: porting the kernel driver from Linux to FreeBSD was done by me around 1.5 years ago, upstream merged my code. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
