Hi Nikola,

Thanks for your feedback. Agreed that it's a distribution. More precisely -
addition of an option which turns a port into a distribution. But I don't see
anything bad about it - it's fully optional and obviously turned off in binary
packages. If anything - it's good for FreeBSD to have a better version than OB.
OB seems to be starved in terms of developers and the turnabout of any change
there is months. Actually if people reviewed and tested the feature in FreeBSD
it would perhaps help OB accept the patch. Otherwise it might not make it there
ever, even though people like it and I get emails every week asking how to
apply the patch and so on.

Besides, I think we need to migrate this port from using the GitHub
repositories to fetching necessary sources from OpenBSD CVS and applying your
patches on top of it. Like this it's easier to review any changes made on top
of trusted OpenBSD codebase. Forgive my paranoia but the case of GitHub repo +
its owner being also the port owner... makes me feel uneasy ;) What do you
think?

Best,

S.
