https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D265651 --- 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. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
