Period. I realize that since you = are the port maintainer, this is the equivalent of saying "wow, that's an ugly baby". But the reality is that it does not work for at least a large subset= of users and has not worked for well over 2 years. Here is an install on a freshly-installed 11-STABLE system: Installing bsdstats-6.0_2... Would you like to run BSDstats now [yes]? y BSDstats runs on this system for the first time, generating registration ID Posting OS statistics to rpt.bsdstats.org ... BSDstats failed: OS statistics submission request failed This is the key/token pair that was generated: (0:13) pool12:/var/db# more bsdstats=20 # This file was auto-generated on Thu Jan 4 16:41:56 EST 2018, # and contains the BSDstats registration credentials KEY=3D'2e81ebf5ee6eb382b7009b5a7330baf0' TOKEN=3D'31q7DmS0IsKdR4oyTQ5Yh6SvFS73dQPOBqWYEKpcUsk=3D' VERSION=3D6.0 And as I have mentioned elswhere, the http://bsdstats.org is also broken in= a number of ways: https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/55647/ For example, clicking on "Ports" returns the text "Category 1" (in invalid HTML) as the only data. This would be a useful tool if it worked. In the condition it is in, howeve= r, it only serves to frustrate FreeBSD users who are trying to submit stats, a= nd gives vendors and others who are considering adding FreeBSD support to their software an unrealistically small and erroneous view of the FreeBSD ecosyst= em. I ran into a first-hand example of this when I was working to convince a 3rd-party software company to add a FreeBSD version of their software - they said "we have more paying Linux customers for our software than the total number of FreeBSD systems listed on bsdstats". I also believe this was part= of the reason a different 3rd-party software company dropped FreeBSD support a year or two ago. IMHO, the port should be removed _and_ the bsdstats.org web page replaced w= ith an "under construction" placeholder until / if both the port and the web si= te function reliably. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
