Just curious because I do a bit of porting myself every now and then. Is that necessary because upstream has not tagged a new release since 2015 and is this the only way to pick up the later changes? Or the commonly recommended one for the ports system? And then of course I wonder why there is no new release. The much more prominent NUT (Network UPS Tools) suffered from the same - no release, so no updated port/package. Did you contact upstream?
