Subject: [acpi-jp 2516] Importing acpicatools
Sender: owner-acpi-jp@jp.FreeBSD.org

I wish to improve the support for the acpi tools included with FreeBSD.
The goal is to reuse as much as possible from Intel's acpica.  It appears
that iasl and acpicadb have become good enough to depend on them for our
primary userland acpi tools.

I plan to do the following:
1. Import usr.sbin/acpi/iasl based on ports/devel/acpicatools
2. Import usr.sbin/acpi/acpicadb based on ports/devel/acpicatools
3. Change acpidump to just output the DSDT.  If the user requests a dump
of the ASL, call iasl -d to do this.
4. Remove usr.sbin/acpi/amldb

Comments on this approach?  At the end, acpicatools port would no longer
be needed but it could still be useful to provide amldb support.
