Hi, my first post to this list. I'm neither a porter nor a developer, however a FreeBSD-oriented project will benefit from your advice. Briefly: 1. when the manifest for 'hello' was created <https://github.com/helloSystem/ISO/blob/f41e37266cec4377221e8e7742f9a9bb15285fd5/overlays/uzip/hello/manifest>; the conflict with misc/hello was not foreseen 2. need to resolve the conflict **and** continue to have helloSystem recognisable as such for the purpose of <https://bsd-hardware.info/?d=helloSystem>. A little more detail, my perspective: <https://gist.github.com/grahamperrin/6ae91f3cb559c7cd65f04cee1be13159#exceptions-for-users-of-hellosystem>; <https://pastebin.com/fbZCCQ0z>; presents package info for the latest release <https://github.com/helloSystem/ISO/releases/tag/r0.4.0>. ### Background Linux Hardware Project commit <https://github.com/linuxhw/hw-probe/commit/e71dba9f9a4cfda9fb4255bbdf1c1e8b3a7c8d2d>; (2021-01-03) added support for helloSystem. <https://github.com/helloSystem/hello/issues/67#issuecomment-753611844>; was the corresponding point in time in the helloSystem issue through which a method of support was initially agreed. This issue was closed, then reopened in light of the naming conflict. (Related <https://github.com/helloSystem/ISO/issues/14>; is a potentially confusing mash of different issues. I view the cessation of support for `pkg update`, `pkg upgrade` and `freebsd-update` – and subsequent replacement of /usr/sbin/pkg – as unfortunate consequences of gaps in understanding, there and elsewhere … but I digress.) Refocusing on the naming conflict: I look forward to your advice; either here, or under <https://github.com/helloSystem/hello/issues/67#issuecomment-772307831>. Thanks Graham
