Anything past 1.1 would be the new upstream version and the last version of the FreeBSD port was 1.4. We have been using the fork for over a year now in Ports. Second, the github project is a sort of staging area for experimental features and does not collaborate with download (Fedora, Debian, FreeBSD). The LimitCPU branch is where stable features are implemented and where downstream projects can submit patches to fix issues. Keeping these things in mind, there really is not anything to be gained from maintaining two separate ports. Nor, in my opinion, any reason to make a port for the github project since it makes no effort to be FreeBSD compatible. Jesse
