Hi,
as you may know, DVB applications are currently not supported on
GNU/kFreeBSD. I searched the internet and found
http://www.tangobravo.co.uk/v4l-compat/
a project which aims to provide drivers for FreeBSD via a V4L2
compatibility layer; and the needed header files for building
apps.
If we want DVB support on GNU/kFreeBSD, we would need to:
a) add the linux/dvb/ headers to kfreebsd-kernel-headers,
should be easy. Either adapt directly from linux-2.6
or adapt from v4l-compat, the latter probably being
the safer choice.
b) package v4l-compat
Currently, v4l-compat only seems to support one driver, but
it should be possible to enable more drivers with minor
modifications.
I don't think that I have the time or knowledge to do this,
but I am providing this here in case someone else wants to
continue.
Regards,
Julian
