Hi Nikola,

Thanks for your feedback. Agreed that it's a distribution. More precisely -
addition of an option which turns a port into a distribution. But I don't s=
ee
anything bad about it - it's fully optional and obviously turned off in bin=
ary
packages. If anything - it's good for FreeBSD to have a better version than=
 OB.
OB seems to be starved in terms of developers and the turnabout of any chan=
ge
there is months. Actually if people reviewed and tested the feature in Free=
BSD
it would perhaps help OB accept the patch. Otherwise it might not make it t=
here
ever, even though people like it and I get emails every week asking how to
apply the patch and so on.

Besides, I think we need to migrate this port from using the GitHub
repositories to fetching necessary sources from OpenBSD CVS and applying yo=
ur
patches on top of it. Like this it's easier to review any changes made on t=
op
of trusted OpenBSD codebase. Forgive my paranoia but the case of GitHub rep=
o +
its owner being also the port owner... makes me feel uneasy ;) What do you
think?

Best,

S.
