(In reply to Fynn from comment #2)
Having looked at Makefile and pkg-plist in the repository it looks OK
(syntactically).
Having said that I'm not sure I would provide an option for every single
binary, but that would depend on the size of the binaries and whether or not
there was a good case to be made for 'most users only want to install a subset'
based on a general/majority use-case.
Points also go against the need for options for each one given:
- None of the options require additional dependencies, or any build time
changes.
- None of the options are enabled by default, meaning the binary package of the
port has much less utility by default.
I would also clarify some of the OPTIONS_DESC's. For example:
BOOTNODE_DESC= Runs a bootstrap node for the Discovery Protocol
BOOTNODE does not appear to 'run' a bootstrap node, but it does install another
binary (unclear).
Maybe something like "bootstrap(8): Node for the Discovery Protocol
Perhaps its worth prefixing the binary name to all OPTION_DESC's like above.
Also consider grouping all of these into a OPTIONS_GROUP=UTILITIES with a
UTILITIES_DESC=Optional Tools/Utilities, so that is further clear what they all
are.
