Hello Justin et al

The commits to bugs.freebsd.org seem to be taking an age to action.  I
suspect the bug review folks are fairly busy at the moment.

We have a port candidate PR in progress;
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=194409

Unfortunately only seems to be working on 10.1-RELEASE amd64 at the
moment.

I will work on it this week and see if I can get it to compile on the
other releases and archs.  Hopefully if I give hrs@ a nudge we can get
something finally committed.

Bogdan, please feel free to test the port out and send us your feedback.

Kind Regards

Craig Butler
