Details

Summary

Many people are still using this old piece of software but it's still missing in the ports tree. For source is used a trimmed fork of known to be working for years https://github.com/kicer/gobi_loader project. Original http://www.codon.org.uk/~mjg59/gobi_loader probably never worked on FreeBSD.

Test Plan

Initial version. Needs more testing and quality assurance.

Remove blank line

25 ↗(On Diff #66038)

share/examples/devd/gobi_loader.conf.sample might be a better idea as it's not going to work out of box due to missing firmware?

gobi_loader/files/gobi.conf.in
7 ↗(On Diff #66038)

Is it possible to avoid hardcoding /dev/cuaU0?
/boot/firmware/gobi/ should probably be /usr/local/lib/firmware? (use ports path variables)

gobi_loader/pkg-message
6 ↗(On Diff #66038)

Multiple typos and what should the firmware file name be?

This one could be useful

Not sure why the line shifted but I meant GH_PROJECT=

Removed GH_PROJECT= and a few whitespaces; reachable e-mail address of port maintainer added.

So what's the status of this port?

I have updated patch to clarify how to obtain firmware files. Port builds and works 100% fine. It was tested with portilint and poudriere testport.

imp added inline comments.

This could use another tab indent...

But I'll fix that when committing.
