Thanks to a helpful suggestion from ryandesign, I modified the Portfile to stop passing the --prefix styled parameter using your suggestion for the oconfigure style and submitted a Pull Request to add openrsync to MacPorts here:

https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/28096

GitHub Continuous Integration checks passed OK!

Here's hoping it gets merged without issues (I included some of the warnings from running %port test and maybe some other MacPorts contributors will have some helpful suggestions for clearing those up too).

Regardless, thank you for your efforts! I'm grateful to be able to downstream it in my own limited capacities. I realize, not as helpful as it might be if Apple were more collaborative, but who knows wtfh Tim "Apple" is up to besides removing headphone jacks and selling off stocks and racing devices out of India before tariffs impact their bottom line, or whatever it is that they do in Cupertino.

Just read a nice serie of blogposts about installing #freebsd on a laptop by @sgharms :

At the same time, I’m finishing reading cover to cover the excellent Absolute FreeBSD by the legendary @mwl

While I’m not much into the file systems, I do really appreciate all the explanations about packages, ports and poudriere.

I hope he will release a new edition of Absolute OpenBSD so I can compare both systems.

I don’t know why but I feel that #OpenBSD is more minimalistic

I have a mini Intel Atom-powered home server in my house.

However, I’ve overlooked two things:

How do I back up data and keep it safe (from both security and quality perspectives)?

I’m still a newbie at GnuPG Privacy Guard. How do I secure the backup of my private keys?
