I have a complete port (in the sense that it builds, installs, packages), but there are a few details, that should be fixed on that occasion: 1) The man-pages install in man1 for binaries in sbin (--> change to man8) 2) The Makefiles use LIBADD (--> change to use LDADD) 3) The README file contains a reference to CVSUP (--> clean up) I do not have write access to freebsd on Github, and I'd appreciate if it was possible to move the files from src/usr.sbin/ctm there (with history would of course be preferable, but I'm not sure that it is of much use). I could then push my local changes (required to make the port build) to the Github repo (or add a few small patch files to the port). The port Makefile that I have prepared is attached below for reference.
