    New ZoneMinder Port

Hi all,

I'd like to start a new port of ZoneMinder for OpenBSD.  I'm coming
from the Linux world, so OpenBSD is a bit new to me.  I've read the
basic port guide and some of the initial info, but if anyone has extra
tips or tricks, I'm happy to learn.

The lead for the ZoneMinder project is fairly confident that it
compiles cleanly on OpenBSD, so I think the bulk of my efforts will be
to simply maintain the port and make it available to others, hopefully
as  part of the ports tree.

I assume it would belong under ports/security/zoneminder, but open to
suggestions or guidance. Also, if there is any guidance for formatting
subject lines in this mailing list, (such as use of square brackets,
name/version combs, etc.) please let me know

Finally, I fully admit that I'm not a programmer/developer, and I'm
not an official part of the ZoneMinder team.  My goal is to help this
software reach users who are interested in deploying it on a highly
secure platform like OpenBSD.

Thanks
