driver 'ov511' (from the linux sources) built on FreeBSD using
devel/linux-kmod-compat. The driver supports some ov511 based
webcams.
THIS IS EXPERIMENTAL CODE, TRY IT AT YOUR OWN RISK.
This is only for 6.x/7.x and at the moment only for i386.
Most bugs and limitations are due to linux-kmod-compat rather than
this port itself, so upgrading linux-kmod-compat (and rebuilding
this port) will most likely improve functionality and remove some bugs.
As usual if some of the port gurus wants to help fixing any mistakes
that i may have made in the port (or missing things, e.g. a suitable
warning message when the port is installed), i will be very grateful
(and can spend more time working on the emulation code).
In particular, i could not find a good site (ftp or web) to fetch
individual linux source files from, so i copied them on my web server
and used it as MASTER_SITE. This should be fixed though.
driver 'gspca' (from http://mxhaard.free.fr/index.html) built on
FreeBSD using devel/linux-kmod-compat . The driver supports a very large
number of webcams.

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).
grzip is a high-performance file compressor based on Burrows-Wheeler
Transform, Schindler Transform, Move-To-Front, and Weighted Frequency
Counting. It uses the Block-Sorting Lossless Data Compression Algorithm,
which has received considerable attention in recent years for both its
simplicity and effectiveness. This implementation has a compression rate
of 2.234 bps on the Calgary Corpus (14 files) without preprocessing
filters.
