About a month ago, I upgraded devel/athens, and discovered that it always fails immediately at startup. I figured out that the /usr/local/etc/rc.d script had been broken, and it sure looks to me like it would always immediately fail at startup for everyone. I made a local fix for it on my machine and submitted a bug report <https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=296971>. Earlier this week, with the port not yet fixed, another user added a patch to the bug report, which is essentially the same change as I had made locally. A new release of the port was made, yesterday or so. I upgraded . Athens started always immediately failing again. Looking into it, the change for the new release was part of a big "bumping Go version" change for many ports. This overwrote the local fix I had made, thus causing the problem again. It's easy enough for me to make the local change again. But maybe it's not easy for everyone, and like I say, I think this problem will happen for everyone who uses the (unmodified) port. And to be honest I'm not really looking forward to noticing and refixing this every time a new version of Go is used. Could someone please take a look at the bug report, and submit the patch? Thanks in advance.
