Hi Joe, Thanks for the quick reply. This is only temporary for testing until the code is considered stable/acceptable (by you? By mass-users? By whomever...) so I don't think it would fit into the installer or contrib. Once there is something solid, it will be part of the FBSD ports tree. I don't want anyone getting confused, so perhaps it's best if I just dump the port code into a separate repo that maybe you can link to in the README? I dunno. I'm just trying to be productive because I know there a lot of Maia users on FBSD (and Linux alike) out there that have been waiting (drooling?) for an update to this code for years. The sooner I can provide something, the better. I just want to make sure it's as abundantly clear as possible that there is updated code that works.
