Hello,

Does this version behave the same as the version from ports?  Spoiler:
it does not
It breaks some ports:
https://pkg-status.freebsd.org/beefy24/data/main-amd64-default/pa52afc55257c_s0f7b8f79f6/logs/errors/rubygem-nokogiri-1.19.1_1.log
https://pkg-status.freebsd.org/beefy24/data/main-amd64-default/pa52afc55257c_s0f7b8f79f6/logs/errors/gtk2-2.24.33_1.log
https://pkg-status.freebsd.org/beefy24/data/main-amd64-default/pa52afc55257c_s0f7b8f79f6/logs/errors/gtk-layer-shell-0.10.1.log
and probably a lot more

Cheers,

Antoine
