[-- Attachment #1 --] Hello, First off, I really don't want to step on anyones toes - I know all committers are quite busy and doing their best to keep up. Thanks for all your work! The PR 289853 regarding updating net/OpenBGPd8 to the last minor release of the branch has been stale for over 4 months now. Version 9 has been released at 30-12-2025 and I created PR 292055 the same day, after verifying this version builds, installs and runs fine and is yet another smooth drop-in-upgrade. Sadly I haven't gotten any comment on both PRs. From the issues/PRs on the upstream github project, I know there are at least some other active users of OpenBGPd on FreeBSD, so it would be nice to have the port up-to-date. Especially since upstream makes sure it builds and runs on FreeBSD. Regarding the 'new port for each major release' practice: As I wrote in PR 292055, IIRC this stems from a major release that introduced breaking changes in the config syntax. Since the syntax has been considered stable for many versions now, we might want to drop that practice and move to a 'net/OpenBGPd' port that always holds the latest release - which is the only one supported by upstream anyways. At the very least we should deprecate/remove the ancient releases 5-7 (ASAP). @Kurt Jaeger: I see that you are quite busy and involved in a lot of PRs. (Again: Thanks for all the work!) We are an active user of OpenBGPd (currently on 11 hosts in production; 6 FreeBSD + 5 OpenBSD) and I could spare some time @work to keep the port updated and test patches and new releases (I'm already doing that in our build environment anyways). So I'm open to taking maintainership for OpenBGPd if this is helpful.
