I know this is not officially released yet but I have made a FreeBSD port skeleton that I would like to submit into the official ports tree since some other projects are starting to require it as a dependency..

Is there a specific commit I should reference or is the latest okay? What would a proper version number be at this point?

Please do not. This is an experimental, unreleased, research project which is actively in flux. None of its interfaces are stable and have completely changed as of a few weeks ago.

Third party software should not be using this as an external dependency at this time. Anyone who is is potentially putting their users in danger.

I agree and thank you for the feedback. There are some ‘altcoins’ currently using this and was wondering as well.

I will hold off on this for now and continue to watch.

Can you email me (greg@xiph.org) and point me to them so I can go apply a cluestick?
