--- Comment #3 from Kubilay Kocak <koobs@FreeBSD.org> ---
(In reply to Fynn from comment #2)

Having looked at Makefile and pkg-plist in the repository it looks OK
(syntactically).=20

Having said that I'm not sure I would provide an option for every single
binary, but that would depend on the size of the binaries and whether or not
there was a good case to be made for 'most users only want to install a sub=
set'
based on a general/majority use-case.

Points also go against the need for options for each one given:

- None of the options require additional dependencies, or any build time
changes.
- None of the options are enabled by default, meaning the binary package of=
 the
port has much less utility by default.

I would also clarify some of the OPTIONS_DESC's. For example:

BOOTNODE_DESC=3D Runs a bootstrap node for the Discovery Protocol

BOOTNODE does not appear to 'run' a bootstrap node, but it does install ano=
ther
binary (unclear).

Maybe something like "bootstrap(8): Node for the Discovery Protocol

Perhaps its worth prefixing the binary name to all OPTION_DESC's like above.

Also consider grouping all of these into a OPTIONS_GROUP=3DUTILITIES with a
UTILITIES_DESC=3DOptional Tools/Utilities, so that is further clear what th=
ey all
are.
