--- Comment #6 from Dave Cottlehuber <dch at skunkwerks.at> ---
It seems this is a very popular port now that we all need it for collectd5.6...
sorry for the double work, I didn't see this ticket til now.

I got all the FreeBSD issues resolved upstream today, and released as 1.9.1
which means we don't need to carry any patches - yay.

Some comments especially focused on the use of this as a command-line tool, and
not just a development library for other things like collectd:

Due to POLA principle, I'm not in favour of having JSON-C and Gnu-TLS as
optional as the riemann-client command-line tool is then severely limited in
functionality. Riemann with TLS support is very common in the wild, and JSON is
almost essential these days. The command-line tool terminates with a .so error
if JSON-C is not available. Not classy!

# QA for my build
- passes portlint -AC
- poudriere 11.0Rp0 amd64 is ok, waiting on the rest as my buildbot is occupied

BTW as maintainer for net-mgmt/riemann itself, I'd be happy to maintain this
port too, unless somebody else prefers to, irrespective of what patches end up
going in.
