I'm not getting much traction on a couple of reported issues in #FreeBSD ports.
Can some ports maintainers / committers take a look at these please?
These changes fully BROKE every adguardhome installation and need to be FULLY reverted. I've reported as such, but have not seen any responses.

Making #AdGuardHome capable of receiving its listening socket, already created and bound, from the thing that invoked it has been on its issues list for a year without any seeming motion at all.
Yes, there exist #FreeBSD tools that can set up the socket and the environment variable. I wrote one such tool years ago, and have been running a DNS server that accepts pre-created listening sockets and itself runs wholly unprivileged for almost as long.
Tell any naysayers that it can be done. (-:

Do you have a TCP / UNIX socket version? I’d been planning on writing one to use with Docker storage plugins that all expect socket activation.
dnscache, as you can see from that manual, needs both TCP and UDP listening sockets, so there's a TCP tool. The service ./run script for the DNS server chains through both tools.
There are also the three different kinds of AF_LOCAL listener tools.

@tubsta @dch @BastilleBSD I am against complaining against volunteers.
@tubsta it’s super frustrating all round.
As a contributor I hate seeing stuff languish.
As a committer I feel bad that it doesn’t get done.
That said I have seen exactly the same issues with every open source project I’ve worked with from open and free BSD through large Apache projects & random github stuff.
After seeing this frustration for over 25 years now I have a simple way of getting my attention on this matter: a contract.
@tubsta @dch @BastilleBSD I think that's entitled behaviour. The rights you are actually entitled to are limited to having the source at your disposal to review, modify, and share.
You are not entitled to the maintainers' time and attention. This means you are not entitled to have your changes merged, or even considered and reviewed.
@tubsta let me know when there’s a queue of people lining up to be maintainers. It’s hard work and no thanks.
I’ve been maintaining stuff now for over 15 years and I can count the thankyou emails on 1 hand. I remember all of them.
That said FreeBSD ports could reduce the friction, like allow maintainers to directly commit their ports IMHO if it passes CI.
