--- Comment #7 from Adam Weinberger <adamw@FreeBSD.org> ---
This program looks cool! Some issues:

1) Why is this pulling a single file out of source control? That doesn't se=
em
ideal. There's no guarantee that that file won't change or disappear in any
future commit. Also it seems strange that people checking out from git shou=
ld
have to download tarballs. Ideally it should be pulling a tag, or a file fr=
om
releases.

2) All the args to ${INSTALL_PROGRAM} are unnecessary (and the mode is
wrong---binaries should be installed 555, as they are by default, and not 7=
55).
root:wheel and mode 555 happens automatically. And while we're here: no sla=
sh
needed after ${STAGEDIR} (${LOCALBASE} starts with a /):
${STAGEDIR}${LOCALBSE}/...

3) The upstream Makefile hardcodes /usr/local, which need to be substituted.
See
https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/slow-pat=
ch.html#slow-patch-automatic-replacements

4) Ideally, the Makefile should be getting the glib/gtk/cairo/pango/etc. fr=
om
pkg-config, not by hardcoding. That's up to developer preference but we'd
certainly urge it.
