  FreeBSD ports repository

  Added files:
    devel/linux-kmod-compat Makefile distinfo pkg-descr pkg-plist 
  Log:
  Add new port for linux-kmod-compat - emulation layer to build
  linux device drivers as FreeBSD kld modules. Details at
  
          http://info.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/FreeBSD/linux_bsd_kld.html
  
  Two ports for webcam drivers that use this package are coming in
  a matter of minutes.
  
  NOTES:
  + This is only for 6.x and 7.x, no support planned for earlier versions.
  + At the moment only i386 but have patches for 64-bit architectures
    that should be committed soon.
  + This port installs a file in /usr/share/mk . After some discussion
    on the ports list this seems, to be the most reasonable thing to do.
    portlint complains about it.
  + portlint also complains because the url in pkg-descr does not contain
    'www'. Can't help it, the url really does not contain 'www'.
  + The emulation code is under active development so expect frequent
    updates to the portversion and related entries.
  + For the same reason, at this time i prefer not to list all individual
    files in pkg-plist. When the thing has settled a bit more, I will reconsider
    this choice.
  + Documentation is a bit lacking - hopefully it is coming too, as part
    of the ongoing development.
  
  And finally - i have almost spent more time to prepare the port
  (including discussing choices, location and studying the ports
  infrastructure) than writing the linux emulation code. If some of
  the ports guru wants to help cleaning up mistakes that i may have
  made, i''l be grateful (but please don't set up a static pkg-plist,
  for the reasons above).
