• devel/hut: new port request: SourceHut command line client

    From Bruce Simpson@bms@FreeBSD.org to muc.lists.freebsd.ports on Sun Mar 1 10:30:58 2026
    From Newsgroup: muc.lists.freebsd.ports

    All,

    So, FreeBSD ports is missing a package for the SourceHut client, hut. I currently use this from WSL2 Ubuntu 24.04 for day-to-day SourceHut repo management.

    Being able to do this from FreeBSD instances would be very helpful.

    I can't seem to edit https://wiki.freebsd.org/WantedPorts so I am
    emailing the list directly (I am not subscribed).

    I had raised https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=293427
    for it, but apparently that's not the new port request procedure.

    Yes, I migrated to SourceHut from GitHub for "real stuff", because of Microsoft being utterly evil, and training Copilot on copylefted code,
    when they know fine well that RAG-based LLMs cannot attribute sources correctly. That amounts to IP theft in my book, or at least blatant
    disregard for the attribution clause of a FLOSS license.

    "Autocomplete for me, but not for thee."

    cheers

    Bruce
