-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello,
kfreebsd misses an iSCSI target so far. This would be an useful addition to kfreebsd and its ZFS support. Indeed many people I encountered so far which were trying out kfreebsd ask for ZFS and occasionally for iSCSI support as well. The only packages available in kfreebsd right now are iscsitarget-(dkms|source). As you may derive from their names, those packages are not at all useful for kfreebsd as they are tightly linked with the Linux kernel and exist on kfreebsd only because no one cared to implement "architecture: linux-all" so far. FreeBSD has two iSCSI targets available: "iscsi-target" (/usr/ports/net/iscsi-target) and "istgt" (/usr/ports/net/istgt/) (learn more on [1]). I tried to compile the latter and it works out of the box on kfreebsd. Therefore istgt could provide an iSCSI target for Debian without too much effort. I can package it for Debian and provide a (hopefully) clean package I think, but I don't want to maintain it all alone as I'm loosely interested in kfreebsd only. I provided a patch for zfsutils recently (thanks Aurelien for shipping it by the way!) and I ported my other package to kfreebsd, but I don't use it for anything productive (yet). Therefore I'd like to ask you (read: debian-bsd mantainers) whether you are interested to maintain this package as you do for similar other packages (e.g. [2]). Moreover someone would need to upload (i.e. sponsor) it, as I have no upload permissions to Debian. Opinions?
