--- Comment #24 from Felix Palmen <zirias@freebsd.org> ---
Hello Franco,

if you submit a version that links dynamically and just packages that one
binary, that would be ready for commit IMHO.

The normal way would be to patch the `-static` in the upstream Makefile awa=
y in
the port. But as you are also the upstream author, you might prefer to remo=
ve
it upstream. That's entirely your choice, do whatever you think is more
appropriate!

Just two tiny things to fix:

* the COMMENT is too long -- just remove the ", on FreeBSD amd64 only" part,
it's redundant information anyways.
* the pkg-descr should be reworded in whole sentences, and references to ot=
her
ports, if you want to keep them, should leave out `/usr/ports`. If you want=
, I
can provide a suggestion.

But reading this:

> Backward compatibility is ensured: it is a key element of my project.
I now completely fail to see any reason why anyone should want to keep mult=
iple
versions installed (which is a good thing!). As a consequence, your decision
not to include that `dir` symlink remains a mystery. Mind you again, people
using packages don't just randomly remove files that were installed by a
package. And if they do, they know they're about to shoot their own foot.

Anyways, the port would be fine. I personally think you could improve the
usefulness by adding the symlink. And you could improve it even further, on=
ce
you trust your alternative code again, by enabling other architectures agai=
n.
But as the port maintainer, you can always improve later, just open a new PR
for an update.
