 > ... can someone reconcile this and the other update posted in PR 49582?
 
 In my (perhaps biased) opinion, the packaging in this submittal is cleaner. I=
 t fixes all the paths in the man pages, includes two patches already accepte=
 d upstream, updates the description to match the current blurb on the opennt=
 pd home page, and adds smf support. On the other hand, the other submittal i=
 ncludes some changes to the portability layer for netbsd. However, I don't t=
 hink there was coordination with upstream on them and I don't know that they=
 'd be accepted as is. I don't have a netbsd box to test with at the moment.
 
 My suggestion would be to integrate this submission for the version update, t=
 hen ask the other submitter to work with upstream (I found Brent very respon=
 sive) to make a netbsd portability patch that would be accepted for the next=
  upstream release and then layer that on top of these changes.=20
 
 Thanks...=
