well, if someone really knows freebsd well and can take care of
porting openct to it, I'd be happy about it.

so far my knowledge is: the generic libusb code doesn't work well
on linux, so the native driver is needed. libusb-dev should not
be installed (else it could be autodetected).

if freebsd needs libusb port (as the native bsd code maybe is
even worse than the libusb driver): can you specify different
conflicts/depends for each architecture?

also I wonder how/if *bsd has hotplugging or coldplugging, and
how exactly that is implemented, and how openct can mix with that.
openct now uses udev again, after hal is beeing removed by most
distributions. *bsd has no udev I guess, but is there any alternative?

note: I'm not aware of any active bsd user on the mailing list - we
maybe get one bsd mail every few months if at all. so maybe it is
best to exclude openct from kfreebsd unless someone is found who
can make sure it actually works and can test it?

Regards, Andreas
