Hello,

Just a heads-up about Architecture: linux-any. The dd-list below is
a (non-exhaustive!) list of packages that kfreebsd/hurd maintainers
believe are candidates for using it in their debian/control file,
because they are probably not to be ported to non-Linux systems, due to
strong Linux dependency.

Could people below consider using

Architecture: linux-any

instead of

Architecture: any

in their next upload? That would help us cleaning the Not-For-Us manual
list.

Thanks,
Samuel

Why this one? The Architecture: any parts are generic tools used to create
alpha boot blocks to images in an architecture-independent manner (e.g.,
when generating bootable CD images from a machine of a different
architecture). There's nothing Linux-specific about that at all; it may not
be high on your list of things to port, but it's a porting issue
nonetheless, not a "strong Linux dependency".

Ah, right. Given back, then.

zhcon works on FreeBSD 7.x, and before 8.x is out the upstream was
dead. I tried to port it to kfreebsd with some progress, but still not
build/work perfectly. The software still has considerable large user
base, so I would like to continue maintain it for a while.

This is FUSE-based, no reason it can't be ported to GNU/kFreeBSD
AFAICT (I suggest linux-any kfreebsd-any untill Hurd has FUSE).

kFreeBSD has (preliminar) v4l support (I suggest linux-any kfreebsd-any).

> * dov4l

Same here?

IIRC this was being ported to GNU/kFreeBSD (by Alastair? I can't remember)

> * reiserfsprogs

The description says "user-level tools", it should be portable AFAICT.
Moreover kFreeBSD provides readonly reiserfs support.

Can be used via fuse. There is no direct module, but you can get read only
support via grub-mount, or rw via some uml thingy whose name eludes me and
my 120-second google-fu.

Oh!? I wouldn't even have expected that, it's a good surprise to me!

Ok, keep continuing, and thanks for your work.

Ah. A few packages were included in the list due to v4l. If kFreeBSD
grows a v4l interface, then that changes things indeed.

Yes.

I guess you mean console-setup.

Does btrfs-tools actually create a file system, or just tells Linux to
do so? If it works like zfsutils, then there's no usable code for
other kernels (but I haven't checked).

Both. See:
