The current port skeleton on that page should be included into the FreeBSD ports tree within the next day or two. This will open up hplip to general wide scale usage on FreeBSD. I've marked myself as the port maintainer. Just for your reference the responsibilities this entails is described at the following page: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/contributing-ports/maintain-port.html The port runs hpiod as the hplip user and hpssd as the nobody user. This seems to work fine. Let me know when you've had a chance to look at the patches in the port skeleton and the configure and Makefile.in sed replacing in the port skeleton Makefile. > > -dave > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: Anish Mistry [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Sent: Wednesday, April 05, 2006 1:41 AM > > To: Cauligi, Raghothama S > > Cc: Suffield, David; hplip-devel@lists.sourceforge.net > > Subject: Re: [HPLIP-Devel] FreeBSD Porting > > > > On Tuesday 04 April 2006 19:49, Cauligi, Raghothama S wrote: > > > Hi Anish, > > > Our I/O expert is away on vacation and will be back later > > > > in the week. > > > > > He will respond to you upon his return.
