Hi Phil;
Thanks for letting me know all this.
cad/ngspice will look for a editline/readline.h header when asked to build with
libedit; if new versions of FreeBSD have it then surely those platforms don't
need this port.
I am not sure that --disable-readline has any effect on this version,
the maintainer of the autoconf'ed version has changed and I saw no mention of
this option on ./configure --help.
In any case, this port needs a maintainer and I won't be it :(. Feel free to
close the PR. Hopefully someone will solve the conflict with lang/onyx and
submit a new PR.
cheers,
Pedro.
