Data Anyone using NetBSD pkgsrc on FreeBSD?

I confess, I'm getting a hair frustrated with the FreeBSD ports system. Is there a reasonably headache-free way of migrating all my installed apps to pkgsrc? Is it advisable or not? Or should I just change my systems over to NetBSD? Or stop worrying an learn to love FBSD ports?

FWCTL(8)						    BSD System Manager's Manual 						  FWCTL(8)

NAME
fwctl -- IEEE1394 control utility SYNOPSIS
fwctl [-prt] [-b pri_req] [-c node] [-d node] [-g gap_count] [-l file] [-M mode] [-m EUI64 | hostname] [-o node] [-R filename] [-S filename] [-s node] [-u bus_num] DESCRIPTION
The fwctl utility is designed to provide a way for users to access and control the NetBSD IEEE1394 subsystem. Without options, fwctl will output a list of devices that are/were connected to the bus. The following options are available: -b pri_req Set the PRIORITY_BUDGET register on all supported nodes. -c node Show the configuration ROM on the node. -d node Hex dump of the configuration ROM. -f node Force specified node to be the root node on the next bus reset by sending a PHY config packet. Valid values are 0 - 63. -g gap_count Broadcast new gap_count by phy_config packet. By default this value is 63 on all nodes. Valid values are 0 - 63. -i pri_req Set the PRIORITY_BUDGET register on all supported nodes. -l file Load hex dump file of the configuration ROM and parse it. -M mode Explicitly specify either dv or mpeg mode for the incoming stream. Only meaningful in case of and must precede the -R option. If not specified, the program will try to guess. In case of ``format 0x20'' error, try to force the mpeg mode. -m EUI64 | hostname Set default fwmem target. Hostname will be converted to EUI64. -o node Send a link-on PHY packet to the node. -p Dump PHY registers. -R filename Receive DV or MPEG TS stream and dump it to a file. Use Ctrl-C to stop receiving. Some DV cameras seem not to send the stream if a bus manager exits. If you cannot get the stream, try the following commands: sysctl hw.ieee1394if.try_bmr=0 fwctl -r The resulting file contains raw DV data excluding isochronous header and CIP header. It can be handled by the pkgsrc/multimedia/libdv package. The resulting MPEG TS stream can be played and sent over a network using the VideoLAN tool (pkgsrc/multimedia/vlc). The stream can be piped directly to vlc, see EXAMPLES. -r Initiate bus reset. -S filename Send a DV file as isochronous stream. -s node Write to the RESET_START register on the node. -t Show the topology map. -u bus_num Specify the IEEE1394 bus number to be operated on. The default is bus 0. FILES
/dev/fw0.0 EXAMPLES
Each DV frame has a fixed size and it is easy to edit the frame order. fwctl -R original.dv Receive a DV stream with DV camera attached. dd if=original.dv of=first.dv bs=120000 count=30 Get first 30 frames (NTSC). dd if=original.dv of=second.dv bs=120000 skip=30 count=30 Get second 30 frames (NTSC). cat second.dv first.dv | fwctl -S /dev/stdin Swap first and second 30 frames and send them to DV recorder. For PAL, replace ``bs=120000'' with ``bs=144000''. fwctl -R file.m2t Receive an MPEG TS stream from a camera producing MPEG transport stream. This has been tested with SONY HDR-FX1E camera that produces HD MPEG-2 stream at 25 Mbps bandwidth. To send the stream from the camera over the network using TCP (which surprisingly works better with vlc), you can use fwctl -R - | nc 192.168.10.11 9000 with pkgsrc/net/netcat and to receive the stream, use nc -l -p 9000 | vlc - To netcast via UDP, you need to use pkgsrc/misc/buffer, since vlc is not fast enough to read UDP packets from buffers and thus it experiences dropouts when run directly. The sending side can use fwctl -R - | nc 192.168.10.11 9000 and to receive the stream, use nc -l -u -p 9000 | buffer -s 10k -b 1000 -m 20m -p 5 | vlc - For more information on how to work with vlc see its documentation.

The fwctl command first appeared in FreeBSD 5.0, as fwcontrol. It was added to NetBSD 4.0 under its present name. AUTHORS

This utility is still under development and provided for debugging purposes. Especially MPEG TS reception support is very rudimental and supports only high-bandwidth MPEG-2 streams (fn field in CIP header equals 3). BSD
