Welcome back!
OpenBSD has had devel/libmtp in the ports tree since 2007, This library is a dependency of audio/amarok, audio/clementine, audio/gnomad2, textproc/calibre, and x11/gnome/banshee. All of these but calibre are audio players or audio management. I just replaced an Android phone last week and I, too, would like to have MTP capability, since the newer phone does not support USB mass storage. All I have discovered in 15 minutes of playing with the "example" binaries packaged with libmtp that 1) they can communicate with the phone, and recognize and report the phone's make/model, and 2) I cannot figure out how to get any additional communication to proceed after that. While not the same as a direct MTP attachment, I've seen recommendations to install and use applications like Airdroid, ftpdroid, or SSHDroidPro to move files with systems that do not support MTP. Of that short list, I have Airdroid. In the past, I've implemented SSH clients and servers on Android phones, but as I haven't rooted this new phone that's not (yet) an option for me.

FYI: from the port itself
Code:
# Requires /sys filesystem for HW detection MAKE_ENV += WITH_USB=no |

So does anyone happen to know if qemu currently has usb passthrough support ? I know throughout its history, on OpenBSD, it has varied in regard to this.

Screw it I decided to install OpenBSD on my laptop, anyway. No more Slackware for me. I had slackware freeze or lock up on me several times and also alot of slackware users said they would continue to use slackware if Patrick Volkerding decided to switch to Systemd in the future. Linux users and many of the developers obviously don't give a sh*t about the Unix philosophy. Not even Richard Stallman and Linus Torvalds care about the Unix philosophy. Eric S. Raymond does, though. I can't associate with the Linux community, anymore, for this reason and many others.

Don't use OpenBSD because you don't want to use Linux. Use OpenBSD because you want to use OpenBSD.

Anyway, Linux is full of shoddy cheap little hacks that just happen to run and it is insecure trash. Linux is for bitches and dumb ones at that . I have these simple beliefs: 1) The root partition should be small... painfully so. 2) /var is not for web servers or their content. 3) The kernel has one job: to keeping the system up, running and stable, not to serve web content - I don't care if it's faster from the kernel. (Linux can serve web content from the kernel i.e. kHTTPdl) 4) Really understanding IP and the applications built upon it is a requirement before you are "1337" (Linux users think they are 'l337' just because they use Linux and if one properly understands the OSI related layer model of TCP/IP then one would never put a web server in the kernel). 5.)The init system should follow the Unix philosophy of doing one thing and doing it well etc.. and should not be a bloated monolithic program with needless dependencies like systemd. 6) I don't care how fast something is, if it comes at the cost of security or stability it's stupid. 7) *BSD is the way.

Saying that doesn't make you or *BSD any better than Linux and Linux users.

As for mtp support--I tend to use either CentOS or FreeBSD, both of which have iffy MTP support, at least last time I looked. However, the ES file explorer app on a phone has an FTP server which can be easily used to transfer files. There's also an ssh server app. It's something I turn on if I want to transfer files to and from my phone, then turn off.
As for anti-Linux comments, fun though they may be, it strikes me as it always did with Linux users sniping at Windows and Mac--as BSD has far less market share and vendor support than Linux, I feel--and of course, this is only one old grouch's opinion--that it makes us look silly, like a little dog barking at a big dog. (At least on public forums). The official FreeBSD stance is, in response to <Whatever> is better than FreeBSD or FreeBSD is better than <Whatever> is that that is user opinion only. (Granted that is FreeBSD and the discussion here is about OpenBSD--and more importantly, we didn't see Angevin's face as they typed, they may have just been being silly, figuring everyone would get the sarcasm). |

On the Windows vs Linux(Ubuntu vs RedHat vs Debian vs Slackware) vs FreeBSD vs OpenBSD issue I view the Operating Systems as tools. Each has their strengths - pick the best one for the task at hand.

I've been running OpenBSD since 5.0 and FreeBSD since 5.x. I've been a Slacker since 2004. At the Moment I have one OpenBSD box (this one) and three Slackware units. I'm running FreeBSD 10.0 in a VM.
Is that comment of yours really needed? I don't think xenophobic statements like that are helpful.
