The discussion also put some attention at the existing PRs. Walter
already tried to reproduce some of the PRs and give some feedback, for
example that an issue is not reproducibly at the current time. I think
this will be true for most of the PRs.
One already brings a patch with it. The first work will be most
management of the PRs.
I'm asking myself how to manage the code. Should i create a new GitHub
repository? Fork the existing from freebsd/portmaster? How to handle the
LOCAL Master-Site?
I submitted a PR to take maintainer-ship for portmaster:
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=207075
Also i fix some minor glitches and add missing RUN_DEPENDS.
Greetings,
Torsten
