It's certainly not going to work with any Linux distro. It might be applicable to other BSDs, especially DragonFly, but I still believe that FreeBSD bugs belong in the FreeBSD bug system. Normally, when maintainers want to dent reports upstream to the port developers, it is up to them to do so. So the ports management team would be responsible for forwarding bugs to the github system if they think it is appropriate. -- R. Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer, Retired E-mail: rkoberman@gmail.com
